Vedclass · Answer

(D) The chair conformation of cyclohexane is the most stable conformer due to the absence of angle strain and torsional strain.The boat conformation is less stable due to flagpole interactions and torsional strain.The energy difference between the chair and boat conformations of cyclohexane is approximately $44 \ kJ/mol$.Therefore,the correct statement is that chair and boat conformations differ in energy by $44 \ kJ/mol$.
