Question:medium

Choose the incorrect statement from the following.

Show Hint

In ethane, every \( 60^\circ \) rotation alternates between staggered and eclipsed conformations.
Updated On: May 6, 2026
  • The energy difference between the staggered and eclipsed conformation of ethane is \( 12.55 \, kJ/mol \)
  • Staggered conformation of ethane is more stable than the eclipsed conformation.
  • The distance between non-bonded H-atoms of ethane in eclipsed conformation is \( 2.29 \, \AA \)
  • A \( 90^\circ \) rotation converts staggered conformation of ethane into eclipsed conformation.
