पर्याय

• Fischer projection formula

• Sawhorse formula

• Newman projection formula

• Wedge formula

Answer 1

Sawhorse formula

Explanation:

In sawhorse formula, C − C single bond is represented by a long slanting line.

The lower end of the line represents the front carbon and the upper end the rear carbon. The remaining three bonds at the two carbons are shown to radiate from the respective carbons e.g.
