Q19 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2015 · Chemistry

The bond angle of bond in methoxy methane is

  • Correct answer
    A
    $111.7^{\circ}$
  • B
    $109^{\circ}$
  • C
    $108.9^{\circ}$
  • D
    $180^{\circ}$

Solution

Due to repulsion between two $-\mathrm{CH}_3$ groups, the bond angle is more than the tetrahedral angle of $109^{\circ} 28^{\prime}$. Figure

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