What will be the bond angle C-O-H in alcohol if C and O ATOM POSSESS `SP^(3)` hybridization

A

`109^@28'`

B

`111^@42'`

C

`109^@`

D

`108^@30'`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The C - 0 - H bond angle is less than the normal tetrahedral angle (109°28.) because of the presence of two unshared and completely filled `sp^3` orbitals of oxygen which repel each other and hence reduce the bond angle. Thus the bond angle is 108°30..
