Question

What is conformation? Discuss the conformation of ethane?​

Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{\purple{A}\green{n}\pink{}\blue{S}\purple{w}\green{E}\pink{r}}}$

The lowest energy conformation of ethane, shown in the figure above, is called the 'staggered' conformation, in which all of the C-H bonds on the front carbon are positioned at dihedral angles of 60°relative to the C-H bonds on the back carbon. ... Another 60°rotation returns the molecule to a second eclipsed conformation.
