Question

what is the bond angle in dimethyl ethers? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let us compare the C−O−C bond angle in dimethyl ether (110.3°) with H-O-H bond angle in H2O (104.5°).

Answer 2

Explanation:

The most probable values for the bond distances and the bond angles are for dimethyl ether: C–O = 1.416±0.003 A, C–H = 1.094±0.006 A, ∠COC = 111.5°±1.5°; and for methyl alcohol: C–O = 1.428±0.003 A, C–H = 1.095±0.010 A, O–H = 0.960±0.015 A, ∠COH = 109°±3°.
