Question

starting from the wedge and dash structure below, rotate the back carbon to provide the newman projection in the least stable conformation

**Question 41 of 41**

**Instruction:** Starting from the wedge-and-dash structure below, rotate the back carbon to provide the Newman projection in the least stable conformation.

**Left Diagram Explanation:**
- This is a wedge-and-dash representation of a molecule.
- The central carbon is attached to:
  - A forward-facing CH₃ (methyl) group.
  - A backward-facing (CH₃)₃C (tert-butyl) group.
  - A forward-facing hydrogen atom.
  - A backward-facing hydrogen atom.

**Right Diagram Explanation:**
- This diagram displays a Newman projection viewed along the bond between two carbon atoms.
- The circle represents the back carbon atom of the bond.
- The lines radiating from the center represent the bonds to hydrogen atoms.
- All atoms attached to the back carbon are hydrogen in this model.

**Actionable Steps:**
- Rotate the back carbon by adjusting the Newman projection to depict the least stable conformation where large groups (e.g., tert-butyl) are eclipsed, increasing steric hindrance.

**Options:**
- You can rotate the model using the "Rotate" button to achieve the correct configuration.
- Use "Undo" or "Reset" if needed, and select "Done" when you have completed your arrangement. 

**Interactive Elements:**
- "Atoms, Bonds and Rings" and "Charges" sections provide additional options for molecular adjustments.
