  1. How can I tell whether or not a molecule is planar?

    Otherwise, its structure allows it to be planar. Even though the molecule will have a structure that allows for it to exist in a planar conformation, there may be some/many that do not persist in a planar …

  2. Difference between radial, planar, angular and spherical nodes

    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 nodes …

  3. inorganic chemistry - How to use crystal field theory to predict ...

    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?

  4. inorganic chemistry - Why is (NH4)2 [CuCl4] square planar complex but ...

    Sep 1, 2016 · Why is $\ce { (NH4)2 [CuCl4]}$ square planar complex but $\ce {Cs2 [CuCl4]}$ is tetrahedral even though both have same oxidation number of copper and same ligands?

  5. Why is the crystal field splitting energy larger for square planar than ...

    May 16, 2020 · It is because of the fact that square planar complexes are formed by much strong ligands with d8-metal cation of 3d- series transition metals cation and 4d or 5d-series transition metal …

  6. Why is biphenyl not planar? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    Jun 9, 2020 · I've seen in a lot of books that biphenyl is not planar. I don't know why that is, because both the carbon are $\\mathrm{sp^2}$ hybridized so it should be planar. Can someone explain it to me?

  7. coordination compounds - Octahedral, Tetrahedral or Square planar ...

    Mar 24, 2021 · In cases where a metal ion like, Fe (III), Cr (III), Pt (II) is made to react with a ligand species like oxalate, CN-, CO etc and it forms a complex then, How do we determine whether 6 …

  8. Why is Ni[(PPh₃)₂Cl₂] tetrahedral? - Chemistry Stack Exchange

    May 19, 2019 · Since PPh₃ is strong field ligand and, the famous Wilkinson's catalyst, which also possess this ligand is square planar, then what makes the above complex tetrahedral?

  9. Are carbocations necessarily sp2 hybridized and trigonal planar?

    Jul 12, 2017 · The planar coordination is a result of a favourable electronic state. Obviously there will be other interactions at play, but in a first approximation the above is always true.

  10. Why is [PdCl4]2- square planar whereas [NiCl4]2- is tetrahedral?

    The molecule $\ce { [PdCl4]^2-}$ is diamagnetic, which indicates a square planar geometry as all eight d electrons are paired in the lower-energy orbitals. However, $\ce { [NiCl4]^2-}$ is also $\mathrm …
