A Conformation is a set of all possible optical isomers of an organic compound of a given molecular formula.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A conformation refers to the possible arrangements of atoms in a molecule resulting from rotation about single bonds. It does not consider optical isomers, which are a specific type of stereoisomerism that arise from the presence of chiral centers in a molecule. Therefore, a conformation is not a set of all possible optical isomers.
