Question

The bond angle and hybridization in ether $(CH_{3}OCH_{3})$ is –

• A. $106^{0}51',sp^{3}$
• B. $104^{0}31',sp^{3}$
• C. $110^{0},sp^{3}$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$110^{0},sp^{3}$

Answer 2

The bond angle in$CH_{3}OCH_{3}$is$110^{0}$inspite of$sp^{3}$ hybridization of O and two lone pair due to steric hindrance.
