Q. Least stable conformer of cyclohexane is

J & K CETJ & K CET 2008Hydrocarbons

Solution:

Planar hexagon conformer has considerable angle strain due to the fact that its bonds are not $109.5^{\circ}. $ It also has torsional strain. Due to presence of these strains planar hexagon conformer of cyclohexane is least stable.
