Which of these factors does not govern the stability of a conformation in acyclic compounds?
Options
- ASteric interactions
- BAngle strain
- CTorsional strain
- DElectrostatic forces of interaction
Correct answer
B. Angle strain
Step-by-step solution
In acyclic compound torsional, steric and Van der wall's strains are present In cyclic compound angle strain is found due to ring. Hence, in acyclic compounds angle strain does not govern the stability of a confirmation.
