Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The electrostatic potential map that best describes the nitromethane molecule is to be identified and the reason for the choice is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
An electrostatic potential map represents electron clouds in a molecule in various colors that indicate its relative charge. Red color indicates the buildup of a negative charge whereas the blue color indicates a buildup of a positive charge. Colors in between red and blue, in the spectrum, indicate a more neutral charge. Electronegative elements attract electron density through a bond to build up a negative charge than the less electronegative elements. Two equal resonance contributors for a molecule suggests equal distribution of electron density.
