draw two sawhorse formulae for propane molecule
Answers
Answer:
Sawhorse Projections are very similar to Newman Projections. The carbon-carbon bond is fully drawn out in a Sawhorse Projection. Sawhorse Projection is a view of a molecule which shows a a particular carbon- carbon bond and groups attached to both the front and back carbons are drawn using at 120° angles. The positions of the groups attached determine the stability of the molecule according to the steric hindrance. Sawhorse Projections can a be drawn so that the groups on the front carbon are staggered (60° apart) or eclipsed (directly overlapping) with the groups on the back carbon. Following are two Sawhorse Projections of propane. The structure on the left is staggered, and the structure on the right is eclipsed.
