Q.15.
Question
Question: Which of the following is (are) possible Newman projections for 2-methylpentane?
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Answer
The possible Newman projections for 2-methylpentane are A and B.
1Step 1: Newman projection
A Newman projection involves the representation of alkane with the help of dots and circles. Two carbon atoms are required in this projection.
2Step 2: Explanation for possible Newman projections
The given compound is 2-methylpentane. The possible Newman projections for 2-methylpentane are mentioned below:
Staggered conformation
3Step 3: Explanation for wrong projection
Compound C is the conformation of 3-methylpentane, as shown below:
Compound C
Thus, the possible Newman projections for 2-methylpentane are A and B.
