### Newman Projections and Stability of Hexane Conformers**3. (a)** Draw Newman projections for the anti, gauche, and fully eclipsed conformers of hexane as viewed through C-3 (the third carbon).You do not need to draw the graph nor all of the structures. One of each type is enough.**(b)** Rank them in order of stability (1-most stable, 3-least stable).**(c)** What types of strain are present in each?---### ExplanationIn this exercise, you will explore different conformational isomers of hexane through Newman projections. A Newman projection is a way to visualize the conformation of a molecule from a specific viewpoint along a bond axis. Here, you will examine the conformers of hexane by looking along the C-3 to C-4 bond.1. **Anti Conformer** - In the anti conformer, large substituents are opposite each other (180 degrees apart), minimizing steric hindrance. - **Stability:** Most stable due to minimal torsional strain. - **Strain:** Minimal or none.2. **Gauche Conformer** - In the gauche conformer, large substituents are 60 degrees apart, leading to some steric interactions. - **Stability:** Less stable than anti due to increased steric hindrance. - **Strain:** Steric strain.3. **Fully Eclipsed Conformer** - In the fully eclipsed conformer, large substituents directly overlap, maximizing torsional strain. - **Stability:** Least stable due to high torsional strain. - **Strain:** Torsional strain and steric strain.Use these descriptions to understand how molecular interactions and strain influence the stability of different conformers in hexane.
