### Organic Chemistry: Conformational Analysis of 1,1,2-tribromopropane**Question:**Draw all possible conformations for 1,1,2-tribromopropane. Label all unfavorable interactions. Which conformation is most stable? Explain.**Task Description:**In this exercise, you are asked to explore the conformational possibilities for the organic molecule 1,1,2-tribromopropane. This molecule consists of a three-carbon chain with two bromine atoms attached to the first carbon and one bromine atom attached to the second carbon. You will need to:1. Draw the Newman projections for all possible staggered and eclipsed conformations.2. Identify and label any steric hindrances or electronic repulsions that arise due to the positioning of the bromine atoms and other substituents.3. Evaluate the stability of each conformation, determining which is the most stable and providing reasoning for your conclusion.**Detailed Steps:**1. **Drawing Newman Projections:** - Position the molecule looking down the C1-C2 bond axis. - Illustrate all staggered and eclipsed conformations by rotating around the central bond. 2. **Labeling Unfavorable Interactions:** - In each conformation, identify interactions where bulky bromine atoms or other substituents are in close proximity causing steric hindrance. - Label torsional strain in eclipsed conformations due to overlapping electron clouds.3. **Stability Analysis:** - Evaluate each conformation based on steric and torsional hindrances. - Staggered conformations are generally more stable than eclipsed ones due to lower torsional strain. - Among staggered conformations, the one with the least steric hindrance, which minimizes interactions between large groups such as Br atoms, will be the most stable.**Example Answer:****Conformations:**1. **Staggered Conformations:** - Between carbon 1 and carbon 2, arrange the three substituents in such a way to illustrate various staggered conformations. - Indicate positions (e.g., anti, gauche) and identify interactions.2. **Eclipsed Conformations:** - Draw the three substituents superimposed on each other illustrating torsional strain.**Most Stable Conformation:**- Explanation involving minimized steric hind
