About this listen

Subject: Organic Chemistry

Isomers, molecules with the same formula but different atom arrangements, are classified into structural and stereoisomers. The focus of this deep dive, conformational isomers, a type of stereoisomer, arise from rotations around single bonds, resulting in various spatial arrangements with different energies. Cyclic conformations, a subset of conformational isomers, involve ring-shaped molecules and their unique three-dimensional structures determined by minimizing strain. Understanding these conformations is crucial because they significantly impact a molecule's physical and chemical properties, particularly its reactivity and interactions with other molecules.
