have same hybridization at oxygen yet they have different bond angles. Which one has greater bond angle? Give reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In `H _(2)O` bond angle is less than `109^(@)28'` due to lone pair and bond pair repulsion. But in either, due to strong mutual repulsion between two alkyl groups bond angle becomes greater then `109^(@)28'.`
