Torsional strain
Lining up bonds (eclipsed conformers)
Torsional strain example

Steric strain
Big stuff, small space
Steric strain example

Angle strain
Compression or expansion of an ideal bond angle
Angle strain example

More strain
Equals more energy
Stereoisomers

Cis
Both on the same side of plane
Trans
On different side of plane and can not be switched
