Question
Chapter 7, Problem 6QRT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The explanation for planar shape for ethylene has to be given using VSEPR theory.
Concept Introduction:
According to VSEPR theory, the geometry is predicted by the minimizing the repulsions between electron-pairs in the bonds and lone-pairs of electrons. The VSEPR theory is summarized in the given table as,
