What is steric interference?
When an atom comes too close to another atom, their electron clouds overlap and repel, this state is unfavorable and is characterized by higher energy.
What is the relation between steric hindrance and reactivity?

What is pseudo-retardation?
Pseudo-retardation would be something that resembles or looks like retardation, but actually isn't. The term literally means, fake retardation.
Are dimple a sign of retardation?
No a dimple is not a sign of retardation.
How to calculate retardation?
Retardation = change in vel / time taken
What is steric acceleration?
For Sn1 reaction the rate usually increases due to steric acceleration. For example the more methyl groups a compound has i.e the more tertiary it is the faster the rate of reaction will be for an Sn1 reaction.
What is the SI unit of retardation?
The SI unit of retardation is meter per second squared or m/s^2.
Does over-study causes mental retardation?
Overstudy does not cause mental retardation.
