Conformational Analysis of Ethane and Butane - Newman Projections

Hooray for molecular models! Here we will examine the different conformations of ethane and butane, and discuss their relative energies. Also, Dave will show you how to draw Newman projections.

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

Professor Dave... I pay £9000 for uni every year but what I learn from you is ten times more understandable to me than anything my lecturers teach.
I just wanted to say thank you so so so much for putting all this material up for free for us because you are saving my life at the moment I LOVE YOU! KEEP UP YOUR GOOD WORK I hope you get anything you want in life you good man <3

That is probably the best explanation on Newman Projections ever. I understood the subject in less than 15 minutes otherwise I'd probably spent at least 2-3 hrs to understand whats going on. Big thanks as always Prof. Dave!

I know many people say this, but by far, you are the best organic chem professor/teacher i have ever come across. It's crazy how many hours we spend in class to learn something, when this man teaches it in under 20 minutes. It blows my mind, truly. Thank you, sir.

Wow! Your channel is a treasure...I will plan myself to watch all your videos! Thank you!

I thought this was so complicated when i opened my book. You helped me a lot, although it was a little confusing for me to translate English to Swedish and then understand it in arabic in my brain😂 Thanks for this awesome video😍❤️👏🏻👏🏻

INCREDIBLE FROM AN MIT STUDENT IN ORGANIC CHEMISTRY GOD BLESS YOU

[manugill]

I was lost on conformations for few days, since I have watched this video now I can understand things very clearly. Thanks!!

It's really awesome sir....very much helpful...sort out all the problems, tht I was facing regarding this...thank you

[fredrickzoller]

Shouldn't the first carbon represent the dot on your drawing, and not the circle? I am referring to the carbon that we are looking at, and you begin to draw at 11:40.
