The most stable conformation of 1,2-dibromomethane among the following is:
1
1
2
2
3
3
4
4
Official Solution
Correct Option: (1)
Step 1: Concept
Stability in conformations depends on minimizing steric hindrance and torsional strain. Step 2: Analysis
In 1,2-dibromomethane, the bulky Bromine atoms repel each other. The "Anti" form (staggered with separation) minimizes this repulsion. Step 3: Conclusion
The Anti-conformation (represented as I in standard diagrams) is the most stable. Final Answer:(A)
