Question

Conformational changes in a ethane leads to change in:

• A. torsional angle
• B. bond angle
• C. bond length
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A torsional angle

Conformational changes in a ethane leads to change in Torsional angle. Among all the conformations of ethane, the staggered conformation has the least torsional strain and hence most stable and the eclipsed conformation has the maximum torsional strain and least stable.
