What is Steric effect in organic chemistry??????
Answers
Steric effect is any effect on a molecule, a reaction, etc. due to the size of atoms or groups.
Common steric effects include steric hindrance and van der Waals repulsion.
Answer:
Any effect on a molecule, a reaction, etc. due to the size of atoms or groups. Common steric effects include steric hindrance and van der Waals repulsion.Steric effects are the effects seen in molecules that come from the fact that atoms occupy space. When atoms are put close to each other, this costs energy.
The above one is the answer to your question.
The below one is the expination of Setric effect to your question.
And please mark me as the brainlest. Thank you !!
Explination:
Chemical reactions take place as a result of giving, taking and/or sharing of electrons. So the different effects which influence the distribution of electrons in a covalent bond of an organic molecule are important for understanding the mechanism of the reactions the molecule undergoes. It is important to note that the driving force behind all of these so-called ‘effects’ is stability and energy minimization.
