(a)
Interpretation:
Each carbon in the following molecule should be labeled as tetrahedral, trigonal planar or linear:
Concept Introduction:
Valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory is used to determine the shape. VSEPR is based on the fact that electron pairs repel each other; thus, when groups (a group is either an atom or a lone pair of electrons) are as far away from each other as possible then they are in most stable arrangement.
(b)
Interpretation:
Each carbon in the following molecule should be labeled as tetrahedral, trigonal planar or linear:
