which of the following most nearly describes the geometry of the methyl radical?


Step 1 : Introduction to the question "which of the following most nearly describes the geometry of the methyl radical? "



The molecular geometry of the methyl radical is quasi-trigonal planar, although the energy cost of distortion to a pyramidal geometry is small. Substitution of hydrogen atoms by more electronegative substituents leads to radicals with a pyramidal geometry, such as the trifluoromethyl radical, CF3.
