Newman Projection Series: Video 1
This video explains conformational isomers and how to visualize and draw Newman Projections
Also discussed are staggered and eclipsed conformations, along with a potential energy diagram for the conformational isomers of ethane from 0 – 360 degrees

gauche in french= left
Aditya tiwari says
Awesome teaching skill mam . It helped a lot to me.
nawal says
Hello, a part of the video im confused on is the defintion of a gauche. When determining something is a gauche does it have to be a substituent and at 60 degree angles of each other? if so, does that mean hydrogen to hydrogen wouldnt be a gauche simply because its not a substituent? Or would the only criteria that matter be the 60 degree angle? I hope that question made sense!

You’re welcome Sayem
Lakin says
Amazing! Thank you!
Leah4sci says
You’re welcome
Nea says
FINALLY ! Newman projection wasn’t as hard as i thought, thanks!
Leah4sci says
glad to help
kiran says
why eclipsed form has higher energy than staggered form?
Leah4sci says
See video 2
kiran says
thank you
Leah4sci says
You’re welcome
angelina says
so incredibly helpful and easy to understand! thank you for the awesome work!
Leah4sci says
Thank you Angelina
Deepika Sharma says
I have some questions?
When one methyl group is behind another methyl group then why energy increases ?
What is the energy that we r talking about?
Please answer.
This video was amazinggggggggggggggg. thank u for helping students by allowing them to see such videos.
Leah4sci says
If the methyl group eclipses the other think of this as being in the other groups ‘personal space’. When the groups are too close the molecule will try to bend out of the way giving each group more ‘space’ thus decreasing its stability and increasing the energy of the molecule overall
Rishu singh says
Bad it does not start with basics
Leah4sci says
I don’t understand. What type of basics are you looking for?
govind rajendran says
Can You Please leave a video on how to draw the right fischer projection for a molecule
And also on how to convert wedge dash to fischer
