The energy difference between the staggered and eclipsed conformations of ethane is

  1. A 6.5 kJ/mol
  2. B 8.5 kJ/mol
  3. C 10.5 kJ/mol
  4. D 12.5 kJ/mol
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 12.5 kJ/mol

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

So we know that the eclipsed conformation is the least stable with the maximum energy whereas the staggered conformation is relatively more stable with less energy. Thus, we know that in eclipsed form the repulsion of molecule or atom is more that's why its stability is low…
