Explanation of Solution

In Newman conformation, the first carbon is represented by dot whereas the back carbon is represented by circle.

Staggered and eclipsed are the two type of conformation in Newman projection.

The molecule of butane can be represented by sawhorse, Newman projection, and wedge dash representation as follows:

The molecule of butane can be viewed from C2C3 bond in CH3CH2CH2CH3

Build a model of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexane. Orient the model so that you are looking at the carbon with the arrow pointing to it in Figure 3. Align the bond to the next carbon in the chain so that it is directly behind the first carbon to match a Newman projection view. (See Figure MM.3 in the lab manual) Spin the carbons on either side of the bond you're looking down to cycle through all three staggered and all three eclipsed positions of the substituents. Draw all six positions as Newman projections on the data sheet and identify the position with the highest energy. Draw the six Newman projections of all of the different energy levels. Label each as staggered or eclipsed and rank in order from lowest energy to highest.

a. For each disubstituted cyclohexane below, draw its ring-flip isomer. Circle the most stable conformation and label the substituent groups as axial or equatorial. ( see image) b.Draw and name the seven constitutional isomers (all contain a ring of some size) for cycloalkane, C6H12.
