How can I tell whether or not a molecule is planar?
Otherwise, its structure allows it to be planar. Even though the molecule will have a structure that allows for it to exist in a planar conformation, there may be some/many that do not persist in a planar …
inorganic chemistry - How to use crystal field theory to predict ...
How can one predict whether a given complex ion will be square planar or tetrahedral when its coordination number is 4 using crystal field theory? Is it possible to theoretically predict this?
Difference between radial, planar, angular and spherical nodes
Mar 26, 2015 · Does this mean that all p orbitals have planar nodes and in d, only d 2 d z 2 has conical node while others have planar node. I am clear about radial/spherical nodes. Thanks.
Why is biphenyl not planar? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Jun 9, 2020 · I've seen in a lot of books that biphenyl is not planar. I don't know why that is, because both the carbon are $\\mathrm{sp^2}$ hybridized so it should be planar. Can someone explain it to me?
Cycloheptatrienyl anion is antiaromatic or non-aromatic?
Aug 11, 2024 · The ground state of cycloheptatrienyl anion in the gas phase is triplet, planar and Baird-aromatic. In DMSO, it assumes a singlet distorted allylic form with a paratropic ring current.
Why is the crystal field splitting energy larger for square planar than ...
May 16, 2020 · 1 It is because of the fact that square planar complexes are formed by much strong ligands with d8-metal cation of 3d- series transition metals cation and 4d or 5d-series transition metal …
Why are allenes chiral? - Chemistry Stack Exchange
Oct 11, 2013 · How is 1-bromo-3-chloropropa-1,2-diene ($\\ce{BrHC=C=CHCl}$) chiral? It doesn't have any carbon that is connected to four different groups.
Why is [PdCl4]2- square planar whereas [NiCl4]2- is tetrahedral?
The molecule $\ce { [PdCl4]^2-}$ is diamagnetic, which indicates a square planar geometry as all eight d electrons are paired in the lower-energy orbitals. However, $\ce { [NiCl4]^2-}$ is also $\mathr...
inorganic chemistry - Jahn-Teller Distortions in Square Planar ...
Jan 2, 2016 · A Jahn-Teller distortion is predicted whenever a non-linear symmetric molecule has degenerate orbitals and has unequal electron occupation in those degenerate orbitals. Of course, …
