Propane has a molecular formula C3H8.
It is of the form CnH2n+2.
where n = number of C atoms. In present case n = 3.
Each carbon atom in propane is sp3 hydribized. Thus, there are 4 hydrid orbital associated with each carbon atom
The central C atom is sigma bonded to two other carbon atoms and two hydrogen atoms.
Such, sp3 hydridized orbitals are spacial orientated at an angle of
, in order to minimize repulsion between the electrons.
Hence, the c—c—c bond angle in propane, c3h8, is closest to
