Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The structures of
Concept introduction: A molecule may have multiple possible structures. But the structure taken into consideration is the most stable structure. For maximum stability, the repulsions must be minimum. The electron pairs must be aligned at proper angles so that the repulsions are to the least extent.
