Physics NEET Full Syllabus Mock Test 180 Question New Syllabus Mock Test - 6 PCB MCQ (Single Correct)

The correct statement regarding the comparison of staggered and eclipsed conformations of ethane is

A
the staggered conformation of ethane is less stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation has torsional strain.
B
the eclipsed conformation of ethane is more stable than staggered conformation, because eclipsed conformation has no torsional strain.
C
the eclipsed conformation of ethane is more stable than staggered conformation even though the eclipsed conformation has torsional strain.
D
the staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than eclipsed conformation, because staggered conformation has no torsional strain.
