Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
group is 
‐directing. Because of crowding, no substitution occurs at the
carbon atom between the two 
groups in 
‐xylene, even though two 
groups activate that position. Magnitude of torsional strain depends upon the angle of rotation about C—C bond. Staggered form has the least torsional strain and the eclipsed form has the maximum torsional strain. So, the staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than the eclipsed conformation.
