    Thumbnail: The ethane molecule spends 99% of its time in a specific conformation. The so-called staggered conformation is reached if, when the molecule is seen from a position on the C-C axis (as in the second half of the animation), the H atoms of the front C atom are exactly between the H atoms of the other C atom.
