Practice question
Question
Given below are Newman projections of ethylene glycol and 1,2-difluoroethane about their respective C-C bonds. The most stable conformations (lowest energy) of ethylene glycol and 1,2-difluoroethane are
Explanation
Evidence for molecular bonding indicates hybridization and orbital overlap dictate geometry and reactivity. Option D aligns with this, as it satisfies bonding and stability criteria, reflecting standard interpretations in chemistry.
