How can you define skew conformation?
(N/A) There are an infinite number of conformations of ethane. However,there are two extreme cases. One such conformation in which hydrogen atoms attached to two carbons are as close together as possible is called eclipsed conformation,and the other in which hydrogens are as far apart as possible is known as the staggered conformation. Any other intermediate conformation is called a skew conformation.
