DropBoite Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Attached is a screen shot from a test markscheme I obtained from school. It asks us to quantify the bond angle which is fine, but I cannot understand the language used to refer to the bond being spoken of. The terms I don't understand are: Inplane Cl-I-out-of-plane Cl |Equatorial F-S-Equatorial F You can understand why this is confusing as the image shows all the bonds as being equatorial (googled it ) I understand that term now, but I still don't get the first sentence and which atoms are being referred to. Thanks All! Edited April 20, 2012 by DropBoite Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
omri Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 I can't open the file, it says I don't have permission :/.But what they mean by in plane and out of of plane is, well they're trying to explain the shape of your molecule that is 3D, but in 2D.Out of the plane just means it's out of the 2-d plane, and you have to imagine it in 3D.Hard to explain.. hope this helped.

Peanut Butter Jelly Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 It just means the bond angle of Cl-I-Cl and F-S-F. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
