So Newman projections are way of analyzing which sigma bond rotation will be the most stable. We have some rules about which rotations arebetterand which areworse! Thedihedral angle(theta), is equal to the angle between the two largest groups on either side of the projection. ...
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 ...
