Organic Molecules

[Ariana Morales]

Is there a difference when finding the VSEPR of organic compounds different from other compounds? Any rules or exceptions?

[Claire Guo 1B]

I believe you can just apply VSEPR regularly to organic molecules

[Rithana Srikanth 3L]

No, I think you apply the same method to organic molecules.

I would think that the only thing you would have to consider with organic compounds is that there may be more than 1 central atom, and thus you would have to account for 2 or more shapes/structures within 1 molecule. For example, C2H4 I believe would include 2 carbons as central atoms, with both having tetrahedral shape around those atoms.

usually in any organic molecule, you would be asked to determine the molecular geometry of a specific atom. For most organic compounds, carbon is the central atom with a tetrahedral geometry.
