How do I distinguish between conformational isomers and identical compounds?
« on: April 30, 2017, 01:18:18 PM »
Hi guys!
Basically conformational isomers are ones you get when you rotate around C-C bonds. OK, got it. But what makes them not identical structures? I have the feeling that, whenever I can put them on top of each other without rotating any bonds, they are identical. Can someone confirm my thoughts?
Thank you :)
