The most stable configuration of n-butane
will be
- skew boat
- eclipsed
- gauche
- staggered-anti
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Staggered conformation has minimum repulsion, so
it is the most stable. The order of stability is
staggered > gauche > eclipsed
energy order eclipsed > gauche > staggered

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:

Concepts Used:
Structure of Organic Compounds
The three structural formulas – complete structure, condensed structure, and bond line structural formulas are explained below:
Complete Structural Formula-
The Lewis dot structure is considered as the complete structural formula. In Lewis structure, the covalent bonds in the compound are denoted by a dash (―). This helps to emphasize the number of bonds formed by the electrons. Every single bond, a double bond, and a triple bond are represented by one dash, double dash, and triple dash respectively. It illustrates every single bond formed between every atom in the compound, thus called complete structural formula.
Condensed Structural Formula-
Since complete structural formula consumes much time and space to represent the structure, we can condense them. This is the condensed structural formula, where replacing some dashes/bonds by a number of identical groups attached to an atom by a subscript.
Bond Line Structural Formula-
A bond lines structural formula is another way of structural representation of organic compounds. Here, every bond is represented as a line in a zigzag manner. If not specified, every terminal is assumed to be a methyl (-CH3) group.
