Paragraph for Question Nos. 26 - 27

Read the paragraph carefully and answer the following questions:

Conformational isomers are generated due to the free rotation about single bond. Due to torsional
strain eclipsed form in less thermodynamically stable than staggered form. The gauche is specific
conformer of staggered in which bulky groups are oriented closer to one another. Hence, generally
gauche form is less stable than staggered form. But sometimes it is not true when hydrogen
bonding is present
