Rotational Conformations of Ethane
Definitions Conformations-Different spatial arrangments that a molecule can adopt due to rotation about sigma bonds. ● Staggered-A low energy conformation where the bonds on adjacent atoms bisect each other(600 dihedral angle), maximizing the separation. Eclipsed-A high energy conformation ● where the bonds on adjacent atoms are aligned with each other(0 dihedral angle)

60o Rotation Causes Torsional or Eclipsing Strain
Types of Strain Steric -Destabilization due to the repulsion between the electron clouds of atoms or groups. Groups try to occupy some common space. Torsional Destabilization due to the repulsion between pairs of bonds caused by the electrostatic repulsion of the electrons in the bonds.Groups are eclipsed. Angle Destabilisation due to distortion of a bond angle from it's optimum value caused by the electrostatic repulsion of the electrons in the bonds.e.g.cyclopropane

Definitions Anti Description given to two substitutents attached to adjacent atoms when their bonds are at 180 with respect to each other. Syn Description given to two substitutents attached to adjacent atoms when their bonds are at 0o with respect to each other. Gauche -Description given to two substitutents attached to adjacent atoms when their bonds are at 600 with respect to each other
