Concept: Chemical bonding in complex molecules
3 important questions on Concept: Chemical bonding in complex molecules
Molecules are not flat, the most molecules exist in three dimensions. What is that form called?
Thetrahedron/tetraëder.
What is the simplest three dimensional molecule/ tetrahedron?
The simplest three dimesional is methan. The carbon is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms.
What is the reason that hydrogen exist is an thetrahedron configuration in methan?
The reason these hydrogen exist in this configuration, is beceause this arrangement places the individual hydrogen atoms as far away from each other as possible. The distance is minimised to reduce repulsive effects.
