Using your model of butane
a. Label each Newman projection of butane on the graph with the words staggered, eclipsed, gauche, and anti, as appropriate. (Note that some structures will have more than one label.)
b. Draw a wedge and dash bond representation of butane in its lowest P.E. conformation.

- A. Using your molecular modeling kit, construct trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane. In the space below, draw one of the chair conformations. Label the methyl groups as either axial (a) or equatorial (e). Number the carbons of the cyclohexane ring, perform a chair flip and draw the new chair conformation.arrow_forward3. Draw Newman projection for the highest and lowest energy conformers of your assigned molecule. Provide a rationale to support your answer. In other words, why is the highest energy conformer so high in energy? Why is the lowest energy conformer low in energy?
