Question

What is the shape of CH3OH?

Answer 1

Answer:

CH3OH has two geometric centers, one is the carbon atom and the other is oxygen. CH3OH has sp3 hybridization, therefore it should depict a tetrahedral shape. But CH3OH depicts both tetrahedral and bent tetrahedral shape instead of tetrahedral throughout
