Use a sawhorse structure to depict the eclipsed conformer of ethane.
Sawhorse Structure
A pictorial representation used in chemistry to visualize the spatial arrangement of bonds and atoms in a molecule, providing a three-dimensional perspective.
Eclipsed Conformer
A conformer of a molecule in which adjacent atoms are aligned with minimal spatial separation, leading to maximal torsional strain.
Ethane
A colorless, odorless gas, which is the second simplest alkane, with the chemical formula C2H6.
