An arrow is pointing to the oxygen of the alcohol. What is the C-O-H bond angle?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The C-O-H bond angle in an alcohol is approximately 109.5°, which corresponds to the tetrahedral geometry around the carbon atom. Option A (90°) and option D (180°) are not possible due to steric hindrance between the bulky alcohol group and the hydrogen atom. Option C (120°) and option E (270°) are also not possible as they do not correspond to the tetrahedral geometry around carbon.
