(a)
Interpretation:
The bond angles around the labeled carbon atoms in the structure needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The bond angle around an atom can be determined from the hybridization of the atom. The bond angles corresponding to the hybridization and geometry around the atom are as follows:
Total pair of electrons (B.P+L.P) | Shape | Bond angles | Hybridization |
2 (2+0) | Linear | 180 | sp |
3 (3+0) | Trigonal planar | 120 | sp2 |
4 (4+0) | Tetrahedral | 109.5 | sp3 |
