  1. 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 …

  2. 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?

  3. organic chemistry - How to determine what compounds are planar ...

    Feb 3, 2025 · If I'm not wrong, sp and sp2 hybridized carbon atoms are always planar, however none of the compounds given in the question seem to have a planar configuration as every …

  4. 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 dz2 d z 2 has conical node while others have planar node. I am clear about radial/spherical nodes. Thanks.

  5. Why is Ni[(PPh₃)₂Cl₂] tetrahedral? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    May 19, 2019 · Since PPh₃ is strong field ligand and, the famous Wilkinson's catalyst, which also possess this ligand is square planar, then what makes the above complex tetrahedral?

  6. 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.

  7. Aromaticity of [14]annulene - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Feb 17, 2023 · The reason he gave is due to repulsions between hydrogens, the structure is no longer planar But later he told us that [14]annulene is aromatic. But isn't there a repulsion …

  8. What is the structure of CF3 radical? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Jun 3, 2020 · In the class, I was told that $\\ce{H3C^.}$ has a trigonal planar structure with the unpaired electron in $\\mathrm{2p_z}$ orbital. But $\\ce{H3C -}$ has a trigonal pyramidal …

  9. organic chemistry - Can we always use the planar representation …

    Nov 8, 2022 · In this case, both the planar representation and the conformational analysis lead to the same conclusion about the chirality of cis -1,2-dimethylcyclohexane (though for different …

  10. How to identify whether a molecule is planar [closed]

    Aug 27, 2020 · The concept of a plane of symmetry is easier to understand with molecules which are planar by itself. Benzene, for example, has such a plane which may accommodate …
