(a)
Interpretation:
An approximate bond angle of the highlighted carbon atom has to be predicted using VSEPR theory.
Concept Introduction:
VSEPR Theory:
The basis for this theory is the electron pair that is bonded electron present in either single or double bonds or lone pair electrons, present in the valence shell tends to repel each other which then tend to be in position in order to minimize the repulsions.
According to VSEPR theory, the geometry is predicted by the minimizing the repulsions between electron-pairs in the bonds and lone-pairs of electrons. The VSEPR theory is summarized in the given table as,
- • Bond angle is the angle between two bonds of a molecule and it is determined based on the electron-domain geometry.
- • Electro-domain geometry includes both bond pairs and lone pairs of central atom for determining the geometry of molecule.
Explanation of Solution
Bond angle can be determined based on the electron-domain geometry.
The marked carbon atom has four bond pairs. Thus it has four electron domains and is in tetrahedral geometry. Hence, the bond angle is
The marked carbon atom has three bond pairs. Thus it has three electron domains and is in trigonal planar geometry. Hence, the bond angle is
