Question
Which of the following has the least hindered rotation about carbon-carbon bond?(a) ethane(b) ethylene(c) acetylene(d) hexachloroethane
Step 1
Ethylene has a double bond, which restricts rotation. Acetylene has a triple bond, which further restricts rotation. Hexachloroethane has a single bond between the two carbon atoms, but the six chlorine atoms attached to the carbons create steric hindrance, Show more…
