C - O - C angle in ether molecule is approximately,
Options
- A111 o
- B90 o
- C180 o
- D109 o 8 ′
Correct answer
A. 111 o
Step-by-step solution
In ether, s p 3 -hybridized oxygen molecule shows a little larger angle 109 o 28 ' due to steric effect of alkyl groups on two sides of it, which predominates over lone pair effect.
