Which of these factors does not govern the stability of a conformation in acyclic compounds?

Which of these factors does not govern the stability of a conformation in acyclic compounds?
  1. Steric interactions
  2. Angle strain
  3. Torsional strain
  4. Electrostatic forces of interaction

Solution

In acyclic compound torsional, steric and Van der wall's strains are present

In cyclic compound angle strain is found due to ring. Hence, in acyclic compounds angle strain does not govern the stability of a confirmation.
