Cubane C8H8(s) is a cubic shaped hydrocarbon

Cubane C8H8(s) is a cubic shaped hydrocarbon (as its name implies) with a carbon atom at each corner of the cube.

 

This molecule is very unstable. Some researchers have been seriously injured when crystals of the compound exploded while being scooped out of a bottle. Not surprisingly, cubane has been the subject of some research as an explosive.

 

a. According to the VSEPR theory, what should be the shape around each carbon atom?

 

b. What bond angles are associated with that shape? (1 mark)

 

c. If you assume an ideal cubic shape, what are the actual bond angles around each carbon?

 

d. Explain how your answers to questions a., b., and c. suggest why this molecule is so unstable.
