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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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?

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 …

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 …

Apr 1, 2025 · For conjugation there must be unhybridized, parallel and adjacent 2p orbitals. But in case of aniline, the hybridization of nitrogen is sp3, which makes it an non-planar system. Yet …

Jan 16, 2021 · In the Caffeine molecule, is aromaticity confined only to the 5 membered ring? The entire molecule is planar and the 6 membered ring also seems to have 6π electrons. The …

Nov 5, 2016 · How can one determine whether an organic compound is planar or not? My idea was that for a compound to be planar the hybridization of all the atoms must be the same. But …
