The conformation of ethane in thick condensed layers is staggered. The clear appearance of a Raman band of a bending mode, not Raman active in the staggered conformation, proves that ethane is adsorbed in eclipsed conformation on silver, indium, and potassium, and probably on other quasi-free ...

Ethane is the textbook example of a molecule exhibiting such behaviour: as one of its two methyl (CH3) groups rotates once around the central carbon-carbon bond, the molecule will alternate three times between an unstable eclipsed conformation and the preferred staggered conformation. This structural...
Assertion: Staggered conformation of ethane is most stable while eclipsed conformation is least stable. ltbr> Reason: Staggered form has the least torsional strain and the eclipsed form has the maximum torsional strain. AIf both assertion and reson are true and reason is the correct explanation of...
