Answer:
Infinite conformations are possible for methane. The noteworthy ones are the three staggered and three eclipsed forms.
Explanation:
The three eclipsed and staggered forms are the following, where the angles denotes the dihedral angle.
- Eclipsed at 0°,120°,240°
- Staggered at 60°, 180°, 360°
The staggered conformation is the most stable among all possible conformations of ethane, since the angles between C-H bonds on the front and rear carbons are maximized which minimizes the energy.
