Conformations:
The different spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule which are readily interconvertible by rotation about single bonds are called conformations. Conformations represent conformers which are readily interconvertible and thus nonseparable.
Newman projection formula for different conformations of ethane:
When an ethane molecule rotates about its carbon – Carbon single bond, two extreme conformations can result in the staggered conformation and the eclipsed conformation.
