terrified vids on Instagram: "A Newman projection is a way chemists visualize molecules by looking straight down the bond between two carbon atoms. Instead of drawing every atom in 3D, the projection flattens the view into a circle-and-lines diagram that shows how atoms are positioned relative to each other along that bond. This perspective is especially useful for understanding conformations — the different shapes a molecule can take as single bonds rotate. By using Newman projections, chemists
