Question

If we replace the hydrogen atoms in ammonia with the ethyl moieties (C2H5)3— N),
there is no change in the hybridization of central oxygen atom, yet they have different
bond angles, Why? Which molecule has lower bond angle? Give reasons to support
your answer.
(d) What is the simplest justifications for believing that molecular structure is more often
governed by BP-BP/BP-LP/LP-LP repulsions than by the van der Walls repulsions of
the nonbonding electrons on the substituent atoms?

(e)Explain the influence of physical state and designing of metal on metallic corrosion.
