Solution
The correct option is A more stable than eclipsed conformation The staggered conformation is the most stable of all possible conformations of ethane since the angles between C−H bonds on the front and rear carbons are maximized at 60 degrees. In the eclipsed form, the electron densities on the C−H bonds are closer together than they are in the staggered form.
