Assuming that each has icosahedral strcucture, determine how many isomers are possible for the `B_(10) C_(2) H_(12)` molecule ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Three isomers are possible. The carbon atoms may be at adjacent possible, may have one boron atom between them or may ne on opposite side of the icosahedan. There are only three isomers possible because the `12` positions of the icosahedran are all inherently equivalent.
