Chapter 1, Problem 1.71AP
In Chapter 6, we study a group of organic cations called carbocations. Following is the structure of one such carbocation, the tert-butyl cation.
- (a) How many electrons are in the valence shell of the carbon bearing the positive charge?
- (b) Using VSEPR, predict the bond angles about this carbon.
- (c) Given the bond angle you predicted in (b), what hybridization do you predict for this carbon?
