Which of the following statements(s) about cyclohexane is/are correct?
A. Stability of different conformations of cyclohexane is Chair > Boat > Twist Boat > Half Chair
B. Only the chair form is free from angle strain.
C. Half chair has five C atoms in one plane and one C atom out of the plane. Hence, it has both eclipsing and bond angle strains and is the least stable conformer of cyclohexane.
D. Twisting the boat to the skew boat conformation moves the flagpole H atoms away from each other and reduces the eclipsing strain. Hence, the twist boat is more stable than the boat conformation.
