Question
Chapter 12.4, Problem 1PPA
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason that the given molecule exhibits liquid crystal properties is to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Liquid crystals act like both conventional liquids and solid crystals.
Liquid crystals have the ability to flow and take the shape of the container like liquids and also havea regulararrangement of particles in the lattice like solids.
Liquid crystals scatter light.
Some substances exhibit liquid crystal behavior when they are melted from solids.
As the temperature increases, the solid liquifies but retains some order in one or two dimensions.

- I'm having trouble with converting lewis diagrams into VSEPR diagrams. I currently have this example of C2BrCl3 which I want to turn into a lewis structure, but I'm not sure what steps I need to do in order to do so. I have the table written down, however, there's two central atoms so what would I do? There seems to be 4 electron domains on the carbon atom and no lone pairs so it would seem like this shape would be tetrahedral. Here's what I have now.
