So a general simple rule is that: the molecule will not be planar if there is an $\ce {sp^3}$ hybridized carbon (or nitrogen) atom or two $\ce {sp^2}$ hybridized atoms of carbon/nitrogen …

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?

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Jun 20, 2015 · What is the difference between them? I think radial nodes and spherical nodes are the same, and angular and planar nodes are the same. Reference Finally, how many spherical …

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 …

Sep 6, 2022 · angular nodes = planar nodes For higher values of n and l quantum numbers, nodes are collection of radial and angular nodes, or nodal spherical surfaces and planes. As …

Mar 12, 2015 · Other thoughts: The general guidelines for determining whether or not a row 1 transition metal complex is square planar or tetrahedral (given it has 4-coordination and d8 …
