Question

The bond angles marked a, b, and c in the molecule below are about __________, __________, and __________, respectively. Select correct answer. Select correct answer. 120°, 109.5°, 120° 90°, 90°, 90° 109.5°, 120, 109.5° 109.5°, 109.5°, 109.5° 109.5°, 109.5°, 90°

Answer 1

Answer:

109.5°, 120°, 109.5°

Explanation:

The bond angles that are marked as a, b and c in the given molecules is in the order of :

Angle a : 109.5°

Nitrogen is $sp^3$ hybridized and the geometry is tetrahedral. So the bond angle is 109.5°

Angle b : 120°

Carbon is $sp^2$ hybridized, so the shape is trigonal planer and the bond angle is 120°

Angle c : 109.5°

Carbon is $sp^3$ hybridized and the geometry is tetrahedral. The bond angle is 109.5°
