MCQ
Torsional strain in eclipsed conformations of a molecule is due to:
  • A
    Repulsion between the eclipsed carbons.
  • B
    Repulsion between aligned electron pairs of the eclipsed bond.
  • C
    Repulsions betwen aligned ‘H’.
  • D
    Repulsions between C-H bonds of eclipsed conformation.
