Building Newman Projections

Sight along the specified C–C bond: the front carbon becomes the center dot, the back carbon becomes the circle.
A wedge bond points toward you (front-right or front-left in Newman).
A dash bond points away from you (back side in Newman).
The backbone continues up (top position) on the front carbon.

Conformations

Staggered: Substituents on front and back do not align. Lower energy.
Eclipsed: Substituents on front and back align. Higher energy.
Eclipsed positions feel “sticky” due to torsional strain.
