Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The geometry around the each carbon atoms of the vinyl acetate are needed to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Molecular geometry can be predicted from the structure by using the valence-shell Electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) model.
-Count the number of valence electron pairs (bond pairs and lone pairs).
-Assume that the valence electron pairs form a structure that allows them to be as far away from each other as possible.
-If there are only two bond pair electrons, the molecule is linear.
-If there are three bond pair electrons, the molecule is shaped like a trigonal planar.
-If there are four bond pair electrons, the molecule is shaped as a regular tetrahedral.
- Repulsion between lone pair-bond pair of electrons effect the geometry of molecules.
