Dihedral angle of least stable conformer of ethane is:
A
$180^\circ$
B
$60^\circ$
C
$0^\circ$
D
$120^\circ$
Detailed Solution
The least stable conformer of ethane is the eclipsed conformation.
Dihedral angle of the eclipsed conformation = $0^\circ$ (staggered = $60^\circ$).
Dihedral angle of the eclipsed conformation = $0^\circ$ (staggered = $60^\circ$).
