Examine the geometry of the molecule in the 3D window. Usie the geomety to determine the bond types. The molecule does not have a hydronyl group. The molecule has a hydroxyl group that is bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom. The molecule has a hydroryl group that is bonded to a trigonal planar carbon atom. The molecule is an alcohol.

Step 1
Secondly, the hydroxyl group is bonded to a tetrahedral carbon atom. This suggests that the carbon atom is bonded to four different atoms or groups, one of which is the hydroxyl group. Show more…

Sketch the shape of a linear triatomic molecule, a trigonal planar molecule containing four atoms, a tetrahedral molecule, a trigonal bipyramidal molecule, and an octahedral molecule. Give the bond angles in each case.
For each compound, draw the Lewis structure, determine the geometry using VSEPR theory, determine whether the molecule is polar, identify the hybridization of all interior atoms, and make a sketch of the molecule, according to valence bond theory, showing orbital overlap. a.
