Organic molecules have three-dimensional arrangements {conformation, molecule}|. Carbon-chain substituents can have alternate forms {carbon chain conformation}.
Carbon-chain substituents can align {eclipsed form}. Eclipsed form has more hindrance, more potential energy, and less probability.
Carbon-chain substituents can alternate position {staggered form}. Staggered form has less hindrance, lower potential energy, and more probability.
