Dihedral angle of least stable conformer of ethane is:

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Ethane has two main conformations: Staggered and Eclipsed.The eclipsed conformation is the least stable due to maximum torsional strain (repulsion between electron clouds of bonds).In the eclipsed conformation, the atoms on adjacent carbons are directly behind one another, meaning the dihedral angle is .
