Orientations for Degeneracy

Postby Skolli20 » Sun Jan 29, 2017 12:16 am

How do we know how many orientations a molecule can make? Is it something we just have to visually be able to tell?

No, it's something that you're meant to calculate using the equations derived in class. I believe that the instances where we looked at molecules and noted the degeneracy were just examples of what it was.
