Question

which of the following best describes the molecules of a sample of propane gas at room temperature

A) Almost all of the molecules are frozen or locked in the eclipsed conformation.

B) Almost all of the molecules are frozen or locked in the staggered conformation.

C) The molecules are rapidly interconverting between the eclipsed and staggered conformations, but at any one time slightly more of them are present in the eclipsed conformation.

D) The molecules are rapidly interconverting between the eclipsed and staggered conformations, but at any one time slightly more of them are present in the staggered conformation.

Explanation / Answer

D) The molecules are rapidly interconverting between the eclipsed and staggered conformations, but at any one time slightly more of them are present in the staggered conformation.

because of propane is a non-polar molecule and it is in gaseous state at room temperature. so there is no intra molecular bonds like hydrogen bonds.
