Does the level of staggeredness of a molecule increase its stability?
Does increased torsional strain mean increased potential energy?
Thanks!

Re: Stability and strain
Yes, the more a molecule is staggered, the more stable it is.
Yes, torsional strain will increase potential energy, since it will make the more unstable (and more unstable molecules have higher potential energy)
