(a) Consider a carbon atom in its ground state. Would such an atom offer a satisfactory model for the carbon of methane? If not, why not? (Hint: Consider whether a ground state carbon atom could be tetravalent, and consider the bond angles that would result if it were to combine with hydrogen atoms.)
(b) Consider a carbon atom in the excited state:

- a) Draw the octahedral mer-[FeCl3(CN)3] complex and determine its point group. Use proper wedges and dashes in order to illustrate 3 dimensional details. Use the point group to determine if the complex has a resulting net dipole moment and describe its allowed direction with respect to its symmetry elements (if applicable). ード M 4- b) Substitute one chlorido ligand in mer-[FeCl3(CN)3] 4 with one fluorido ligand. Determine all possible isomers and their corresponding point groups. Use the point groups to determine if the complexes have resulting net dipole moments and describe their allowed direction with respect to its symmetry elements (if applicable). The number of complex sketches below is not necessarily indicative of the number of isomers. 4- 4- ☐☐☐ c) Substitute two chlorido ligands in mer-[FeCl3 (CN)3] 4 with two fluorido ligands.
