[NEET P-I 2016] 129. The number of primary, secondary, tertiary and
quaternary carbons in neopentane are respectively:
(A) The eclipsed conformation of ethane is more stable
than staggered conformation even though the eclipsed [Assam CEE 2017]
conformation has torsional strain
(A) 4, 3, 2 and 1 (B) 5, 0, 0 and 1
(B) The staggered conformation of ethane is more stable
