MCQ
The correct statement regarding ethane conformation is :
  • A
    Rotation around carbon-carbon bond in ethane molecule is not possible, because ethane molecule contains a pi $(\pi)$ bond between the carbon and carbon and ethane has very low melting point.
  • B
    Rotation around carbon-carbon bond in ethane molecule is not possible, because ethane molecule contains both sigma $(\sigma)$ bond, and pi $(\pi)$ bond between the carbon and carbon.
  • Rotation around carbon-carbon bond in ethane molecule is possible because of cylindrical symmetry of sigma $(\sigma)$ bond between carbon-carbon atoms
  • D
    Rotation around carbon-carbon bond in ethane molecule is not possible, because ethane molecule contains both sigma $(\sigma)$ bond and pi $(\pi)$ bond between the carbon and carbon and ethane has very high boiling point.

Answer

Correct option: C.
Rotation around carbon-carbon bond in ethane molecule is possible because of cylindrical symmetry of sigma $(\sigma)$ bond between carbon-carbon atoms
