Structure of free radicals
I had this doubt if we take for example CH3 as a free radical why will the structure be planar triangular i mean still has a free electron won't that do some electronic replusions and distort the shape

Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.The electron in question exists in a non bonding orbital and thus is not able to show repulsion significant enough to distort the shape of the radical.
Ohh okay thanks
