Could you explain again how you tell by looking at a drawing of a molecule whether it’s staggered or eclipsed? Thanks! (If you look along a C-C bond, and all three atoms at the second carbon are eclipsed by the respective three atoms at the first carbon, the conformation is eclipsed. Otherwise, it is staggered. - GS).
