Question

Which of the following projections would the most stable?

 

I believe that it would be the 6th because out of all 6 groups, the methyl groups are the furthest distance away from each other in the 6th. When they are in close proximity, the front and back methyl groups’ electron orbitals repel each other, which generates potential energy and makes the conformation unstable.
