hoay SG In both propane and cyclohexane all Carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized. But in cyclohexane not all carbon atoms lie in the sme plane as in propane?
UltimaOnline SG In both propane and cyclohexane all Carbon atoms are sp3 hybridized. But in cyclohexane not all carbon atoms lie in the sme plane as in propane? Correct.3 points of a triangle will always be on the same plane.
UltimaOnline SG i want to know why. both are sp3 hybridized. butane will have coplanar carbon also? No. Only 2 points (ie. a line) and 3 points (ie. a triangle) will have all points on the same plane.
hoay SG okay. nice summary.It means cyclopropane will be coplanar.but not cyclobutane and not methylpropane.
UltimaOnline SG okay. nice summary.It means cyclopropane will be coplanar.but not cyclobutane and not methylpropane. Considering C atoms only, yes. If include H atoms, none of the molecules are co-planar, due to the C atoms being sp3.
