• Based on the figures (bows and tetrahedron) made, can carbon atoms form a quadruple bond? Explain..
Answer:
No, forming a quadruple bond will mean four points of the carbon touching another carbon
and due to angle strain which is induced by repelling electrons in the pi-bonds, the resulting molecule is highly unstable hence cannot form.
