Answer

a.

b.

c.

Step-by-step solution

Conversion of the wedge dash molecule into Newman projection

The molecule in the Newman projection is focused on the one carbon-carbon bond.

• Select the carbon-carbon bond in the wedge dash.
• Put the wedge dash molecule on the plane making ${\mathbf{120}}^{\mathbf{0}}$between the substituents of each carbon.
