Question:
In the following structures, which two forms are staggered conformations of ethane?
In the following structures, which two forms are staggered conformations of ethane?
Show Hint
Staggered = lowest energy conformation.
Updated On: Mar 20, 2026
- 1 and 4
- 2 and 3
- 1 and 2
- 1 and 3
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Staggered conformations have maximum separation between hydrogen atoms. Structures (2) and (3) satisfy this condition.
