A

eclipse,anit, gauche

B

anti,gauche,eclipse

C

ecclipse,gauche,anti

D

gauche,eclipse,anti

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Because of ultra molecular H bonding. Gauche conformation of 2 fluroethanol is more stable than anti while eclipsed conformation is the least stable. Thus the increasing order of stability is
