Question

explain which carbon is smaller

The image displays two molecular structures compared side by side.

**Left Structure:**
- Central carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one fluorine atom.
- The fluorine is shown with a solid wedge bond indicating it projects outwards from the plane.
- A dashed wedge bond to a hydrogen shows it projects inwards, behind the plane.

**Right Structure:**
- Central carbon atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one thiol group (SH).
- The sulfur atom in the SH group is represented with a solid wedge bond, indicating it projects outwards.
- A dashed wedge bond to a hydrogen shows it projects inwards, behind the plane.

Between the structures, "vs" suggests a comparison or contrast between the two molecules, likely in terms of their stereochemistry or properties.
