Newman Projections & Strain
A Newman projection visualizes a molecule by looking directly down a specific Carbon-Carbon bond. Single bonds can rotate freely, creating different 3D arrangements called Conformations.
Types of Strain:
1. Torsional (Eclipsing bonds)
2. Steric (Bulky groups too close)

Dihedral Angle ($\theta$):
The angle between the front $-\text{CH}_3$ and the back $-\text{CH}_3$. As this angle changes, the potential energy fluctuates due to repulsive forces between electron clouds. The system naturally seeks the lowest energy state (Anti).
