what is the difference between conformation and

Answer Posted / farbod

Relative to polymer chains, the difference between

in reference to the outline or shape of the chain molecule,
whereas, configuration refers to the arrangement of atom
positions along the chain that are not alterable except by
the breaking and reforming of primary bonds.
