DEAR CHANDANA
In chemistry, a steric effect is an influence on a reaction's course or rate determined by the fact that all of the atoms within a molecule occupy space, thus certain collision paths are either disfavored or favored.
Steric effects are the effects seen in molecules that come from the fact that atoms occupy space. ... It can also change the shape (or conformation) of the molecule. The amount of space that a group of atoms takes is called the "steric bulk". An example of steric effects is steric hindrance.
