(a) Use VSEPR to predict the geometry at the carbon shown

Chapter 24, Problem 84AP

(choose chapter or problem)

(a) Use VSEPR to predict the geometry at the carbon shown in bold in the carbocation, radical, and anion derived from the tert- butyl group. Is the arrangement of bonds to this carbon linear, tetrahedral. trigonal planar, or trigonal pyramidal? ________________(b) Which of these species is the most nucleophilic? Which is the most electrophilic?________________(c) Predict which species reacts with water to give HC(CH3)3.________________(d) Write a chemical equation for the reaction in part (c), and use curved arrows to show the flow of electrons.
