Chapter 10, Problem 74E

Determine the electron and molecular geometries of each molecule. For molecules with more than one central atom, indicate the geometry about each central atom.

a. ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH }\left({\text{skeletal structure H}}_{\text{3}}\text{COH}\right)$

b. ${\text{H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{COCH}}_{\text{3}}\left({\text{skeletal structure H}}_{\text{3}}{\text{COCH}}_{\text{3}}\right)$

c. ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{skeletal structure HOOH}\right)$
