Propane is Not Flat


Lewis’ model might make you think that propane is flat… but this is not true…propane utilizes all three of its dimensions to their fullest potential in grilling the perfect steak.
Each of the carbons in propane has a delicious tetrahedral geometry, leading to the indicated red bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees.


The C-C bond length is a delectable 0 .154 nm and the C-H bond length is a savory 0.109 nm.
