Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
(a)
1Conformers
Conformational isomerism is a kind of stereoisomerism where the isomers can be converted from one form to another by the rotation about the single bonds.
2Newman projection of the most stable conformer
(a) According to the Newman projection, the most stable one is the one comprising minimum repulsion between the atoms. The Newman projection of the most stbale conformer can be given as:
