Two dimensional geometry is called "plane geometry" meaning that it occurs on a single surface or plane. The objects used in plane geometry are called plane figures.


What causes an unsaturated fatty acids to have a different shape than a saturated fatty acid?

A saturated fatty acid chain is composed of a carbon chain with only single covalent bonds. This creates a tetrahedral geometry of the atoms. An unsaturated fatty acid chain is composed of a carbon chain with one or more double covalent bonds. This creates a trigonal geometry of the atoms at the double covalent bond.


Exaples of a substance with tetrahedral geometry?

There are many compounds that exhibit tetrahedral structure. Some of those compounds are carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), chloroform (CHCl3), and methane (CH4). Many compounds of carbon (those which don't contain double bonds) are tetrahedral in structure because carbon tends to form four single bonds.

What is the electron geometry of OF2?

Electron geometry for this is tetrahedral. There are two O-F single bonds, which makes 2 electron groups. There are two lone pairs around oxygen, which make up the last two electron groups. Molecules with four electron groups has a tetrahedral Electron geometry.

Ethylene has 4 single bonds (carbon to hydrogen) and 1 double bond (carbon to carbon).


What is the molecular geometry for CH3I?

Since there is 4 electron domains which are all single bonds without any lone pairs, the molecular geometry is tetrahedral.
