Question
Chapter 5, Problem 5.14YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The model for the given molecule is to be determined by using Fischer projection, and identification of substituents in the given box is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Emil Fischer in 19th century worked with several asymmetric carbons in a given molecule and several molecules at a time. This helped to develop a configuration about chiral centers of the molecules, which is known as Fischer Projections. There are two ways to show Fischer projections: one, intersection of vertical and horizontal line and secondly, substituents on horizontal bonds are pointed towards us and substituents on vertical line are pointed away from us.

the molecules flat in real life, or three-dimensional in real
life? If three-dimensional, where exactly are the Hs and OHs
positioned when one interprets these projections?)

Also in your explanation, describe why the second molecule is not simply the first
molecule flipped over (like a pancake).
