MCQ 11 Mark
Assertion (A): The oxygen of OH group in alcohols is attached to sp3 hybridised carbon.
Reason (R): The bond angle in alcohols C-O-H is 109°28'.
Reason (R): The bond angle in alcohols C-O-H is 109°28'.
- ABoth A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
- BBoth A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
- ✓A is true but R is false.
- DA is false but R is true.
Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: C.
A is true but R is false.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation:
The bond angle $C -\widehat{ O }- H$ in alcohols is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle 109°28'. It is due to the repulsion between the unshared electron pairs of oxygen.
