Conformational isomers, or conformers for short, are caused by the rotation around covalent single σ bonds and the three-dimensional (3-D) tetrahedral shape of the sp3-hybridized centers.
Eclipse conformation: Conformation in which hydrogen atoms attached to two carbons areas nearest to each other as possible is known as eclipsed
Staggered conformation: Conformation in which hydrogen atoms attached to two carbons are as far as possible with respect to each other is known as staggered The staggered conformation is thus relatively more stable in comparison to eclipse conformation as there are minimum repulsive forces, minimum energy due to much separation between the electron clouds of C-H bonds.
