Newman Projections, Alkanes, Cycloalkanes, and Functional Groups, Organic chemistry

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Newman Projections, Alkanes, Cycloalkanes, and Functional Groups, Organic chemistry instructional video also includes:
  • Newman Projections (HTML version from khanacademy.org)
  • Join to access all included materials

Sal starts this video with a short 3D methane molecule structure review. He then continues to demonstrate possible configurations for ethane. A ball-and-stick model is drawn, and viewers will find the labeling of bonds helpful as a review. The Newman projection is presented as a way to draw molecules instead of the more common Sawhorse representation.
