ANSWER:

Problem 6

Which of the following statements can be used to prove that carbon is tetrahedral?

a.  does not have constitutional isomers.

b.  does not have a dipole moment.

c.  does not have constitutional isomers.

                                                           Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 3

(a)
The constitutional isomers are the isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of structures.

The given molecular formula . The constitutional isomers are not possible for this formula because the tetrahedral structure of  all the four bonds have the same distance and bond angle.

The structure of  is as follows.

Hence, the given statement that's proved carbon is tetrahedral.
