Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The angles formed by $\text{N}-\text{C}-\text{C,}\text{O}-\text{C}=\text{O}$ and $\text{C}-\text{O}-\text{H}$ bonds in the structure of glycine are to be predicted.

Concept introduction: The bond angle of the given bond in the molecule is determined by its geometry which is determined by the number of atoms and lone pair of electrons present around the central atom.

To determine: The angles formed by $\text{N}-\text{C}-\text{C,}\text{O}-\text{C}=\text{O}$ and $\text{C}-\text{O}-\text{H}$ bonds in the structure of glycine.
