For the following confirmation of n-butane the decreasing order of stability can be given as
Options
- A3, 1, 2, 4
- B3, 2, 1, 4
- C4, 1, 2, 3
- D3, 4, 2, 1
Correct answer
B. 3, 2, 1, 4
Step-by-step solution
Out of these conformations of n- butane the conformation (3) that is ‘Anti’ is the most stable one as in it same atoms or groups are present at maximum distance (opposite or at 180 o ). The stability order can be given as follows
