Answer to Problem 27P
Angle (1) and (2) both measures
Explanation of Solution
The compound is as follows:
In the compound, three groups (hydrogen, carbon and chlorine) surround the double bonded carbon atom. And if three groups present surrounding an atom, the bond angle will be

Answer to Problem 27P
Angle (1) and angle (2) both measures
Explanation of Solution
Given compound is as follows:
The carbon atom in the compound is surrounded by four groups (two hydrogen, one carbon and one chlorine). So, the angle between the bonds is
