Conformation generally means structural arrangement. The structure of a thing is how the parts of it relate to each other, how it is put together. This contrast with process, which is how the thing works; but process requires a viable structure. ...
A horse's conformation is the proportions of its body in relation to one another. Different conformation is desirable for different work that the horse must perform.

Conformational isomerism is a form of isomerism and describes the phenomenon of molecules with the same structural formula having different chemical conformations or conformers due to atoms rotating about a bond.
N is the population of molecules in a particular conformation.
Conformational isomerism only occurs around single bonds as a result of the requirement of breaking one or more pi bonds to rotate substituents about a sigma bond axis in double and triple bonded atoms.
