Which of the following statements is TRUE about torsional strain? The lower the torsional strain, the lower the stability of the conformation is. O Torsional strain increases during the conversion from an eclipsed conformation to a staggered conformation. O Torsional strain is relieved when a molecule assumes a staggered conformation. O All are true.
