  • Question
  • Which one of the following statements is not correct?


  • Options
  • A. Fischer projection represents the molecule in an eclipsed conformation
  • B. Newman projection can be represented in eclipsed, staggered and skew conformations
  • C. Fischer projection of the molecule is its most stable conformation
  • D. In Sawhorse projections, the lines are inclined at an angle of 120 deg to each other.

  • Correct Answer
  • Fischer projection of the molecule is its most stable conformation 

    Explanation

    Fischer projections were originally proposed for the depiction of carbohydrates and used by chemists, particularly in organic chemistry and biochemistry.A Fischer projection always uses an eclipsed conformation. A Newman diagram can represent either an eclipsed conformation or a staggered conformation or a skew conformation.
