Q. What will be the bond angle C-0-H in alcohol if hybridisation of C and O atom possess sp$^3$hybridisation?

Solution:

The bond angle C-0-H in alcohol is slightly less than tetrahedral angle (109$^{\circ}$28' ). This is due to larger repulsion between the lone pairs of oxygen. The bond angle C-0-H in alcohol is 108$^{\circ}$30'
