Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 53P
(a) Consider a carbon atom in its ground state. Would such an atom offer a satisfactory model for the carbon of methane? If not, why not? (Hint: Consider whether a ground state carbon atom could be tetravalent, and consider the bond angles that would result if it were to combine with hydrogen atoms.)
(b) Consider a carbon atom in the excited state:
Excited state of a carbon atom
Would such an atom offer a satisfactory model for the carbon of methane? If not, why not?
