Resolvability and the Tetrahedral Configuration of Carbon.
Kauffman, George B.
Journal of Chemical Education, v60 n5 p402-03 May 1983
Discusses evidence for the tetrahedral configuration of the carbon atom, indicating that three symmetrical configurations are theoretically possible for coordination number four. Includes table indicating that resolvability of compounds of type CR'R"R"'R"" is a necessary but not sufficient condition for proving tetrahedral configuration. (JN)
