Various type of steri strain and their effect on reactivity |
|
Answer» Explanation: Steric strain is the INCREASE in POTENTIAL ENERGY of a molecule due to repulsion between electrons in atoms that are not directly bonded to each other. eg: Consider two staggered conformations of 1,2-dibromoethane: In 1, the bromine atoms are closer to each other than they are in 2. |
