Non-planar Molecules

Non-planar Molecules:

This simply means that the atoms do not all lie in one plane - the molecule is "3-dimensional".

We will consider the examples:

---

(a) Chloromethane



---

(b) Methane



---

(c) Allene





(a) Chloromethane - ClCH3

(b) Methane - CH₄

(c) Allene - H2C=C=CH2
