Question:
Suppose that an ethane molecule, CH3CH3, is broken into two CH3 molecules in such a way that one :CH3 molecule retains the electron pair that was originally the one making up the C–C bond. The other CH3 molecule has two fewer electrons. Imagine that momentarily this CH3 molecule has the geometry it had in the ethane molecule. Describe the electron repulsions present in this molecule, and indicate how they would be expected to rearrange its geometry.
