Which of the following statements can be used to prove that carbon is tetrahedral?
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Ans. (C) Dichloromethane does not have constitutional isomers.
Sol. If the four valencies of carbon were planar (square planar), CH2Cl2 would exist as two constitutional isomers (adjacent and opposite positions). Only one CH2Cl2 has ever been obtained, which is consistent only with a tetrahedral carbon.
