What is the difference between torsional and steric strain? I've read my textbook and Googled online but still do not understand the difference as both, I believe, involve electron repulsion.

Expert Solution

Step 1

The isomer molecules have same molecular formula but different structural formula. Different types of isomers are possible like structural isomer, stereoisomers etc.

The stereoisomers have same molecular formula but different arrangement of bonded atoms in three-dimensional space. They can be further classified as conformations and configurational isomers.
