Which of the following best explains the relative stabilities of the eclipsed and staggered forms of ethane? The .............. form has the most ............. strain.
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
The eclipsed form of ethane is the least stable because of torsional strain - the repulsion between the bonding electron pairs of the eclipsing C-H bonds. Steric strain is minimal because the hydrogens are small.
