3. Newman Projections Of Butane: Staggered And Eclipsed Now it’s time for some Newman projections. Here, we’re going to take our model of butane in the staggered conformation and look along the C2-C3 bond. When we do that we can sketch out the Newman projection like this: ...
This conversion has value as it translate one representation (Newman projection) to a perceivable geometric object (triangle). The translation from one representation to another was reported to be an obstacle in learning chemistry (Treagust, Duit, & Nieswandt, 2000). Each of the triangles ...
Newman Projection: This is the projection usually used to draw alkanes. One carbon is kept downside, and the other is held up towards the viewer. The Y-shaped lines drawn in the compound show carbon atom's bonds. The lower side bonds show the bonds of the ...
Newman Projection Series: Video 1 This video explains conformational isomers and how to visualize and draw Newman Projections Also discussed are staggered and eclipsed conformations, along with a potential energy diagram for the conformational isomers of ethane from 0 – 360 degrees ...
