An isomer that results only from atoms movements due to rotations about a single bond
A staggered conformation between two tetrahedral atoms whereby the two largest groups are the furthest apart and have a dihedral angle of 180°.
A conformation between two tetrahedral atoms whereby all the bonds are staggered with dihedral angles of 60°, and the two largest groups are 60° apart.
A conformation between two tetrahedral atoms whereby all the bonds are lined up and thus have a dihedral angle of 0°.
Any conformation that has an angle that is NOT 0° or 60°
A strain, also known as eclipsing strain, that is due to the repulsion between the electron clouds of C-H bonds that line up in an eclipsed conformation.
A strain that results when atoms not bonded to each other come closer together than their van der Waals radii would allow.
A type of strain caused when an angle around an atom deviates from its ideal value.
For a chair conformation of cyclohexane, these are the 6 positions that radiate out from the ring as if around the equator of a globe.
For a chair conformation of cyclohexane, either set of 3 hydrogens that point straight up or down from the carbons on the ring.
For a boat conformation of cyclohexane, these are the two hydrogens that point inward toward each other.
A higher energy conformation of a cyclohexane ring that is preferred when there is a 1,4-cis arrangement of large groups on the ring.
A conformation of a cyclohexane ring whereby each carbon can adopt a tetrahedral geometry and avoid any angle or torsional strain.
A type of steric interation that occurs between a group in a chair form of cyclohexane and another axial group.
An angle that happens between to planes, or in terms of molecules the angle between two bonds not attached to the same atom.
A conformational change in a cyclohexane where axial and equatorial positions swap due to single bond rotation
A combination of torsional and angle strains that occurs in cyclic compounds
The resulting higher energy associated with a molecule as compared to the molecule without geometric stresses.
A conformation between two tetrahedral atoms whereby all the bonds are not lined up and thus have a dihedral angle of 60°.
An eclipsed conformation between two tetrahedral atoms whereby the two largest groups are lined up and have a dihedral angle of 0°.
