What is the value of \(\mathrm{C}-0\) -H bond angle in \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{OH}\) ?
- A \(108.9^{\circ}\)
- B \(107^{\circ}\)
- C \(109.5^{\circ}\)
- D \(110^{\circ}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) \(108.9^{\circ}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(108.9^{\circ}\)
Due to repulsion between lone pair electrons of oxygen atoms, the \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bond angle in \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{OH}\) (methanol) is \(108.9^{\circ}\). It can be readily demonstrated as follows:
