Question

If the molecule has n-C2 axes perpendicular to its Cn axis, choose True. Otherwise, choose False. Be sure to build a model or draw the structure before selecting your answer. If needed, search for the molecular structure online or in a textbook.XeF4[PdCl4]2−naphthalenefuran, C4H4O

Answer 1

Answer:

XeF4                  True

[PdCl4]2−           True

naphthalene      True

Furan                  False

C4H4O               False  

Explanation:

From the given information:

Only XeF4;  [PdCl4]2−;  naphthalene are true. This is because their molecules contain -nC₂ axis which is perpendicular to the Cn axis. The image attached below shows the structural formula of each compound, there below, we can see that Furan only possesses one C₂ axis but not -nC₂ ⊥ C₂.
