  • In water H-O-H bond angle is 104.5^(@) , but in ethers (R-O-R) the C-O-C bond angle is about 110^(@) . The reason to justify it is

    A
    positive inductive effect of alkyl groups is more than that of hydrogen
    B
    the alkyl group is polar while hydrogen is not
    C
    distortion caused by the lone pair of oxygen atom is compensated by the bulky alkyl groups
    D
    the hybridisation of oxygen atom is different in ethers and in water.
