What is the intermediate conformation between eclipsed and staggered?(a) Staggered(b) Skew(c) Eclipse(d) NewmanThe question was posed to me in an internship interview.My doubt is from Hydrocarbons in chapter Hydrocarbons of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (B) Skew

To explain I would say: The intermediate conformation between ECLIPSED and staggered is known as skew and gauche formations. The eclipsed FORM is least stable but the staggered form is the most stable DUE to the greater DISTANCE between the bond pairs or lesser torsional strain.
