Newman Projections of Cycloalkanes: See Molecules in 3D!

The video tutorial explains Newman projections, focusing on ethane, propane, and butane molecules. It details the steps to draw these projections, highlighting the differences between eclipse and staggered conformations. The tutorial also covers the dihedral angles associated with each conformation and explains the concepts of anti and gauche conformations in butane. The video provides a comprehensive guide to understanding molecular conformations through Newman projections.
