Question

10. Which of the following is not true for methyl cyclohexane?
(a) There are two 1,3 diaxial interactions in axial conformation?
(b) There are two gauche interactions in axial conformation
(c) Energy of axial conformation is more by 1.7 kcal/mole than equatorial
conformation
(d) Energy of axial conformation is less by 1.7 kcal/mole than equatorial conformation​

Answer 1

Explanation:

(c)Energy of axial conformation is more by 1.7kcal/mole than equatorial

because equatorial methyl cyclohexane is more stable than axial methyl cyclohexane
