Interpretation:
Zigzag conformation of the given molecule is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
A zigzag conformation of an acyclic molecule is a representation in which the root carbon chain is represented by a zigzag line in the plane of the paper, and the substituents are shown above or below the plane by using wedge and dash bonds.

- Draw the two possible chair conformations for the below molecule. Clearly indicate whether the substituents are axial (a) or equatorial (e).arrow_forwardWhat is the lowest energy 3D conformation of the molecule in the image?arrow_forwardFor the following pair of molecules, (1) Draw out the chair conformation for each molecule, flip the ring if it is possible. (2) Compare both molecules to circle out which one is more stable. (3) Assign the absolute configuration (R/S) on all the chiral center(s), if it applicable. (4) Name the molecule on the left side.
