Outline:

About conformations of 1,2-dichloroethane. Create a model of anti conformer of 1,2-dichloroethane on the Jmol panel. Add elements of your choice in the modelkit menu. Minimize energy for the model on the panel. Label the atoms in the model of 1,2-dichloroethane. Save the model as .mol file. Measure the dihedral angle between the two chlorine atoms in the model of 1,2-dichloroethane. Use rotate bond tool in the model-kit menu to rotate bonds. Use the script commands with "rotate" keyword to rotate specific bonds in the model. Rotate the molecule to show the Newman projection.
