The platinum-chlorine distance has been ...

The platinum-chlorine distance has been found to be ` 2.32Å` in several crystalline compounds This value applies to both compounds `A` and `B` given here


Based on the above structures, answer the following questions
The `C-C` single-bond distnaance is `1.54 Å` What is the distance between the terminal carbons is propane ? Assume that the four bonds of any carbon atoms arre pointed towards the corners of a reqular tetrahedron .

A

`3.08Å`

B

`1.54Å`

C

`2.52Å`

D

`1.26Å`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Bond in propane = `109^(@)20`
Distance between two terminal C-atoms `=2x`
`:. X =1.54 sin ((109^(@)28')/(2))`
` = 1.26 Å`
