Question

With respect to the conformers of ethane, which of the following statement is true?

• A. The bond angle remains the same but the bond length changes
• B. The bond angle changes but the bond length remains the same
• C. Both the bond angle and the bond length changes
• D. Both the bond angle and the bond length remains the same.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both the bond angle and the bond length remains the same.

There is no change in bond angles and bond lengths in the conformations of ethane. There is only change in dihedral angle.
