Question

Boat form of cyclohexane is less stable than chair form because:

• A. it floats on water
• B. of interaction of flag pole H on top of carbon
• C. of high dipole moment
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B of interaction of flag pole H on top of carbon

Boat form of cyclohexane is less stable than chair form due to an interaction of flag pole $H$ creates steric strain at top of carbon.
