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

The bond angle between \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) and \(\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H}\) bonds in alcohols is close to
  1. \(109^{\circ}\)
  2. \(120^{\circ}\)
  3. \(180^{\circ}\)
  4. \(90^{\circ}\)

Solution

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