Question

Predict all approximate bond angles about each highlighted carbon atom. To make these predictions, use valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory

C-OH
Transcribed Image Text:C-OH
Expert Solution
Step 1

The angle that is found between two bonds of molecule is bond angle. Electron-domain geometry is used to determine the bond angle.

Geometry of molecule could be predicted using electron-domain geometry. The geometry of electron-domain comprises of bond pairs and lone pairs of central atom.
