	Conformation describes the ~~shapes~~ a molecule has at a given time due to free rotation around single bonds. ~~Depending~~ on the interactions of the atoms in different conformations ~~of a molecule, some conformations will be common (lower energy) and some will be rare (higher energy)~~.

Conformation describes the shape a molecule has at a given time due to free rotation around single bonds. Different conformations of a molecule will be more common or less common depending on the interactions of the atoms in these different conformations. Different conformations will have distinct sets of torsion angles, which quantitatively describe the rotation around a bond.
