Ques. 1JEE Main 2024, 27 January (Evening Shift)

The incorrect statement regarding conformations of ethane is :

  1. The dihedral angle in staggered conformation is 60 .
  2. Ethane has infinite number of conformations.
  3. Eclipsed conformation is the most stable conformation.
  4. The conformations of ethane are inter-convertible to one-another.

Answer

(3) Eclipsed conformation is the most stable conformation.

Solution

[figure]

∵ Rotation about the C–C σ bond is almost free (barrier ≈ 12.5 kJ mol-1).

(A): in the staggered form the front and rear C–H bonds are 60 apart ⇒ (A) is correct

(B): rotation can stop at any angle ⇒ infinite conformations ⇒ (B) is correct

(C): eclipsed form has maximum torsional strain ⇒ least stable ⇒ (C) is incorrect

(D): low rotation barrier ⇒ conformations interconvert ⇒ (D) is correct

Answer: (3)
