Stereoisomers, which can be interconverted simply by rotation about sigma bonds, are confomational isomers while those, which can be converted only by breaking and remaking of bonds and not simply by rotation, are called configurational isomers. The angle between C-C and C-H bonds on adjacent carbon atoms in any conformation is called dihedral angle. The cyclic compounds most commonly found in nature containing six membered rings can exist in a conflormation that is almost completely free of strain. the most stable conformation of cyclohexane is chair form. According to Bayer strain theory, the greater deviation from the normal tetrahedral angle, greater is the angle strain or torsional strain and hence lesser is the stability of the cycloalkane. Select the correct sequence of decreasing order of stability?

Stereoisomerism occurs when the bond connectivity is same but the spatial arrangement of more than one type is possible. Stereoisomerism finds vast use in orgaic chemistry, mainly biochemistry as all the biomolecules, are generally stereospecific in their actions. Stereoisomerism in limited not only to organic compounds but also to anorganic compounds, mainly in co-ordination complexes. Stereoisomers include cis and trans isomers, chiral isomers, compound wilth different conformation of chelate rings and other isomers that differ only in the geometry of attachement of the metal ion. Select the correct option for tertraamminedichlorocobalt (III) ion, the trans isomer
