MTBE is part of petrol:What are approximate values of angle P and angle Q in a molecule of MTBE?

Correct answer: B. 109°,105°

  • A. 90o105o
  • B. 109°,105°
  • C. 90°180°
  • D. 109°180°

Explanation

The carbon atoms (C) are also sp3 hybridized. The angle between the two adjacent carbon atoms and the oxygen atom is also approximately 109.5 degrees, following the tetrahedral geometry.

About Chemical Bonding

Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
