Question

how many covelant bond in methanol? how?

Answer 1

Methanol is CH3OH

So carbon is attached to 3 H and 1 OH with 4 covalent bonds. O and H in OH are bonded with 1 covalent bond.

So there are total 5 covalent bonds.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are overall five covalent bonds

Explanation:

Methanol:

• Methyl alcohol (or) methanol has the chemical formula, CH OH.
• The oxygen in the -OH institution is attached to carbon via a sigma bond.
• The bond is formed through the overlap of the sp hybridized orbital of carbon with the sp hybridized orbital of oxygen.
• The bond angle on the oxygen is barely much less than tetrahedral geometry because of lone pair repulsion.

The dimer of methanol:

• The dimer of methanol is formed through the formation of a hydrogen bond among 2
• monomers.
• H-bond binds the 2 methanol molecules together.
• The bond is formed through the overlap of the oxygen atom having lone pair of an electron with the
• oxygen atom of an adjoining molecule.

So carbon is attached to a few H and 1 OH with four covalent bonds. O and H in the OH shows covalent. electron bonded with 1 covalent bond.

So there are overall five covalent bonds
