Which type of strain is present in fully eclipsed conformation of butane?
Angle strain
Steric Strain
Both a & b
Neither a nor b
Torsional strain -
The repulsive interaction between the bonds or electron pairs of the bonds on adjacent carbon atoms.
- wherein
Increases the potential energy stored within a molecule making the molecule less stable.
