The C—O—H bond angle in alcohols slightly less than the tetrahedral angle whereas the C—O—C bond angle in ether is slightly greater because
- of repulsion between the two bulky R groups.
- O atom in both alcohols and ethers is sp3-hybridised.
- lone pair – lone pair repulsion is greater than bond pair-bond pair replusion.
- None of these.
Answer
(C) lone pair – lone pair repulsion is greater than bond pair-bond pair replusion.
