Steric Strain in Newman Projections by sonujaipratapsingh is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Conformational isomers of acyclic molecules differ in their spatial arrangement due to rotation around single bonds. There are two types of strain that can result from these arrangements: torsional strain and steric strain. Torsional strain arises from eclipsed interactions that can be relieved by bond rotation, while steric strain from non-bonded interactions cannot. The most stable conformation minimizes van der Waals repulsions between groups. Bond rotation readily occurs around sigma bonds but not pi bo
