Explanation:
The lowest energy conformation of ethane, shows 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.

⭐Answer ⭐
➡ The infinite number of momentary arrangements of the atoms in space which result through the rotation about a single bond is called Conformation .
The two types of Conformation of ethane are as follows : -
- Staggered
- Eclipsed
