On comparision with H-C-H bond angle of methane, the C-N-C bond angle of trimethylamine is

A

Higher

B

No change

C

Not comparable

D

Lower

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
l-p, b-p repulsions are much greater than b-p, b-p repulsions. Bond angle of C–N–C in trimethylamine is `108^@`.
