One reason we can be sure that sp3 -hybridized carbon

Chapter 3, Problem 3.13

(choose chapter or problem)

One reason we can be sure that sp3 -hybridized carbon atoms are tetrahedral is the number of stereoisomers that can exist for different organic compounds. (a) How many stereoisomers are possible for CHCl3, CH2Cl2, and CHClBrF if the four bonds to carbon have a tetrahedral arrangement? (b) How many stereoisomers would be possible for each of these compounds if the four bonds to the carbon had a square planar geometry?
