Question

Why eclipsed form and staggered form of ethane cannot be isolated at room temperature

Answer 1

Eclipsed form and staggered form of ethane cannot be isolated at room temperature because Eclipsed form and staggered forms are not isomers rather they are conformers of same hydrocarbons thus cannot be identified uniquely.

Answer 2

The eclipsed and the staggered form of ethane cannot be isolated at room temperature because the staggered form occurs in a more stable form when compared with the eclipsed form and at the room temperature, the molecules of ethane will be highly inert.

Explanation:

• The molecules of ethane will be more inert and they cannot be separated because the heat present in the room will not be able to dislocate the molecules from one position to the other.
• In this way, the isolation process is not possible.
