The correct statement regarding the comparison of staggered and eclipsed conformations of ethane, is:
Options
- AThe staggered conformation of ethane is less stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation
- BThe eclipsed conformation of ethane is more stable than staggered conformation, because eclipsed conformation
- CThe eclipsed conformation of ethane is more stable than staggered conformation even though the eclipsed confor
- DThe staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation
Correct answer
D. The staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation
Step-by-step solution
The correct statement regarding the comparison of staggered and eclipsed conformations of ethane is the staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation has no torsional strain.
