Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Molecular geometry of each carbon atom present in the given compound has to be indicated.
Concept introduction:
Geometry of the molecule is three dimensional arrangement of atoms in space. Each and every atom in a molecule has its own geometry that depends upon the hybridization involved in bond formation with the adjacent atoms. The number of bonds attached to the atom determines the geometry of that particular atom in a molecule.
Bond angle is angle formed by two adjacent bonds in a compound. The bond angle is determined by the geometry of the atoms present in the compound. The hybridization present in the atom determines the bond angle, namely,
To Indicate: The molecular geometry of carbon atom in the given compound
