With respect to [this](https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/35013/small-doubt-regarding-bulkier-molecule-having-more-probabilty-of-reaction/35015?noredirect=1#comment53854_35015) question as suggested by a user (he asked me to ask this as a separate question), I wanted to know if there is any way in which steric hindarance of an organic carbon be quantified, as to a value that would indicate how bulky a compound is.
