Q36 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2019 (20 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

The bond angle between \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) and \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds in alcohols is close to

  • Correct answer
    A
    \(109^{\circ}\)
  • B
    \(120^{\circ}\)
  • C
    \(180^{\circ}\)
  • D
    \(90^{\circ}\)

Solution

The bond angle between \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) and \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds in alcohols is close to \(109^{\circ}\). (i.e. \(108^{\circ} 28\)) Figure

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
