• I say locked because, unlike conformational isomers in Newman Projections , you can't simply rotate the molecule to change the relationship between substituents. (leah4sci.com)
  • Conformational isomers are similar to configurational isomers, in that they have the same atoms bonded together in the same order. (brilliant.org)
  • However, conformational isomers can interconvert . (brilliant.org)
  • Chirality can be shown in 2-D drawings using the Wedge-Dash Notation or Newman Projections . (brilliant.org)
  • Such a conformation exists in any open chain single chemical bond connecting two sp3-hybridised atoms, and is normally a conformational energy minimum. (wikipedia.org)
  • Ring structures or cyclic compounds can also exhibit cis/trans isomerism without the presence of a pi bond. (leah4sci.com)
