Which of the following statements about the conformations of acyclic alkanes is true? In the staggered conformation, the C-H bonds on one carbon are directly aligned with the C-H bonds on the adjacent carbon. Rotating the atoms on one carbon by 60° converts an eclipsed conformation into a staggered conformation, and vice versa. Conformations are the same arrangements of atoms that cannot be interconverted by rotation about single bonds. In the eclipsed conformation, the C-H bonds on one carbon bisect the H-C-H bond angle on the adjacent carbon.
