Explanation:
The C-O-C bond angle in dimethyl ether is 108 Degrees because the oxygen forms two bonds and still has two lone pairs on the oxygen. The two lone pairs repel each other and thus force the bonds a little bit closer together. So instead of the bond angle being a straight 180 Degrees—which one might initially expect—the bonds are closer together (less than 180 Degrees) because the lone pairs are pushing each other apart.
