  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 planar …

  2. 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.

  3. organic chemistry - Can we always use the planar representation of ...

    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 reasons). …

  4. 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?

  5. 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?

  6. Which diagram for crystal field splitting of Square Planar is accurate?

    Oct 10, 2024 · Which of these is correct when there is crystal field splitting of ligand in square planar manner. Kindly provide reference of books and plausible explanation as well.

  7. 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...

  8. 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 …

  9. Why does Fe(CO)₄ adopt a tetrahedral, as opposed to square planar ...

    Mar 12, 2015 · The hypothetical Fe(CO)X4 F e (C O) X 4 complex is isoelectronic to the observed [Ni(CN)X4]X2− [N i (C N) X 4] X 2 complex and therefore would also be square planar. [1,2] Both are …

  10. Are carbocations necessarily sp2 hybridized and trigonal planar?

    Jul 12, 2017 · My copy of Pearson's Organic Chemistry (7e), Morrison and Boyd, under the section " Reaction intermediates ", accords a succinct description on the structure of carbocations: The central …
