Part (a).
(1) 4 isomers
Explanation: 2 different metals (Mo, W) * 2 different nonmetals (O, S) = 4 isomers
(2) 4 isomers
Explanation: 2 different metals (Mo, W) * 2 different nonmetals (O, S) = 4 isomers
(3) 9 isomers
Explanation: 3 different metals (Cr, Mo, W) * 3 different nonmetals (O, S, Se) = 9 isomers
Part (b).
Yes, it is possible for the central 8-atom core of a cubane structure to be chiral.
Explanation: Some atoms are out-plane and some are in-plane. As a result, the central 8-atom core will be chiral.
please write down the answer properly. 2. Numerous compounds containing central cubane structures, formally derived from...
