7. CCH Angle for Cyclobutane

Postby powerberry » Fri Mar 07, 2014 11:29 am

When I used Chem3D to calculate the CCH angle for cyclobutane, there were several values between 112 degrees and 115 degrees but more of them were toward the 115 degree side. What value should I write?

I was confused about that too... do we take the average of the numbers?

I was told by one TA to write both, another to write the average. I would suggest you write both numbers, draw an arrow to the box,and write the average in parentheses.

I asked Lavelle and he said to write the average

Thanks. I just went along and wrote both and then put the average in parentheses.
