what is the difference between conformation and
configuration?
Answer Posted / aditi jain (vit)
CONFIGURATION:
It refers to the absolute arrangement of atoms or substituent groups in space around the atom. Configurational isomers cannot be interconverted without the breaking of one or more covalent bonds.
CONFORMATION:
It refers to the 3 dimensional arrangement of group of atoms that can be altered without breaking any covalent bonds. Rotation around single bonds allows the molecule to undergo transition between conformers.
Hope this Helps.
