Which is not true regarding conformers of ethane?

A

Theoretically infinite conformations exist

B

By prices experimental setup, staggered conformer can be separeted out of system

C

Increasing temperature increase the percentage of eclipsed conformer

D

Staggered conformer has lower torsional strain than eclipsed one

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Although conformers differ in potential energy and stability, the difference is so small that it does not allow their practical separation.
