Ch3cn Molecular Geometry - How To Discuss

Ch3cn Molecular Geometry

Have you explained the electronic geometry (e.g.) and molecular geometry (mg) of underline carbon in CH3CN? 3

a) For example = tetrahedral, mg = tetrahedral

b) For example = linear, mg = triangle plane

c) For example = triangle plane, mg = curved

d) For example = linear, mg = linear

e) In page = triangle degree, mg = triangle degree

If this is the first C in a given molecule, then the answer is A because there are 3 hydrogen and 1 carbon attached.

If c is the second then the answer is d because carbon has a triple bond with nitrogen and another carbon atom has a bond.
