Question

41 multiple choice 2 points based on dihedral angles and energy levels, which of the following conformations is typically the most stable? gauche conformation eclipsed conformation anti conformation totally eclipsed conformation

Explanation:

The anti - conformation has a dihedral angle of 180° which maximizes the distance between bulky groups, reducing steric hindrance and resulting in lower energy and higher stability compared to gauche (60° dihedral angle), eclipsed (0° dihedral angle), and totally eclipsed (0° with maximum steric clash) conformations.

Answer:

C. Anti conformation
