Stereochemistry - the chemistry of molecules in three dimensions, isomers - Compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures, Constitutional isomers  - isomers that  have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding, Stereoisomers - compounds where the atoms are connected in the same order but with different geometries, i.e. they differ in the three-dimensional arrangements of groups or atoms in space, Conformational isomer - stereoisomers produced by rotation (twisting) about σ bonds and are often rapidly interconverting at room temperature, staggered Conformers - a chemical conformation of an ethane-like moiety abcX–Ydef in which the substituents a, b, and c are at the maximum distance from d, e, and f; this requires the torsion angles to be 60°., eclipsed conformers - a conformation in which two substituents X and Y on adjacent atoms A, B are in closest proximity, implying that the torsion angle X–A–B–Y is 0°,
