Question
**Problem Statement:**

1. How are the two compounds below related? Redraw them in line dash-wedge structures.

**Description:**

The image contains two Newman projection diagrams of organic compounds. Each diagram illustrates a specific conformation of a molecule, which is typically represented through the front and rear carbon atoms as circles. The substituents (hydrogen atoms, H, and methyl groups, CH₃) are arranged around the circles, indicating the spatial arrangement of atoms in a molecule.

**Details of the Diagrams:**

- **First Compound:**
  - Central circle represents the front carbon.
  - On the front carbon: one hydrogen (H) pointing upwards, one hydrogen (H) pointing downwards-left, and a methyl group (CH₃) pointing downwards-right.
  - Rear carbon circle has the same substituents but in different positions.

- **Second Compound:**
  - Similar arrangement to the first, but the spatial positions of hydrogen and methyl groups differ, potentially indicating different stereochemical relationships such as enantiomers or diastereomers.

**Instruction:**

To properly understand the stereochemistry of these compounds, it is suggested to redraw these Newman projections using line dash-wedge structures, which help visualize the three-dimensional conformation more clearly.
