(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The COH bond angle based on the given Lewis structure should be predicted.

  Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry, Chapter 2, Problem 3E , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction :

There are three steps to determine the bond angles in a molecule.

  1. Lewis structure should be drawn
  2. The electron domain geometry should be determine using the steric number and VSEPR theory.
  3. Then the shape of the molecule is used to determine the angles between electron domains.

(b)
