(a)

Step by step solution

01

Conformers

Conformational isomerism is a kind of stereoisomerism where the isomers can be converted from one form to another by the rotation about the single bonds.

02

Newman projection of the most stable conformer

(a) According to the Newman projection, the most stable one is the one comprising minimum repulsion between the atoms. The Newman projection of the most stbale conformer can be given as:
