According to VSEPR ["vesper"] theory, this is the steric number of square pyramidal and square planar compounds.
According to VSEPR ["vesper"] theory, this is the steric number of square pyramidal and square planar compounds. The products from a diene and a dienophile in the Diels-Alder reaction have this many members, as do the "chair" and "boat" configurations. One metallic carcinogen is chromium with this oxidation state. One exception to the octet rule, boron, is most stable with this many shared electrons, which is also the number of electrons in a full set of p-orbitals. For 10 points, give this number, the number of carbons in benzene and cyclohexane and the atomic number of carbon.
