D) The bond angle around each oxygen atom is ideally about 109.5$\degree$. E) All of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) This is not true as some carbon atoms are double bonded (sp2 hybridized).
B) This is not true as there are double and single bonds in the structure.
C) This is true as each oxygen atom has two lone pairs of electrons.
D) This is not necessarily true as the bond angles around some oxygen atoms may differ due to the presence of lone pairs of electrons.
E) This is the correct choice as all of the statements are true.
