Question

Which of the following will result in changing the orientation of bonds between carbon and other atoms from a tetrahedral configuration to a planar configuration?

A) Addition reaction
B) Substitution reaction
C) Elimination reaction
D) Isomerization reaction

Answer 1

A substitution reaction will not result in changing the orientation of carbon bonds from tetrahedral to planar.

Step-by-step explanation:

A substitution reaction will not result in changing the orientation of bonds between carbon and other atoms from a tetrahedral configuration to a planar configuration. In a substitution reaction, one or more of the alkane's hydrogen atoms are replaced with a different atom or group of atoms, but the hybridization of the carbon atoms does not change.
