Hello,
Just out of currosity, are Newman projections only used for 2 carbon structures? What would happen if you wanted to draw 3 or 4 carbon structures?
Thank you!

Re: Newman Projections: Only 2 Carbons?
Newman projections are used to visualize conformations of one carbon-carbon bond so are only drawn with one in the front and one in the back. Different visualizations would be used to depict the conformations of more than 2 carbons.
