Question
(a) Give the $\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}$ bond angle in methyl formate.
Step 1
The molecule has a trigonal planar geometry around the carbon atom. This is because the carbon atom is bonded to three other atoms and has no lone pairs of electrons. Show more…

(a) Give the $\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}$ bond angle in methyl formate. (b) One dihedral angle in methyl formate is the angle between the plane containing the $\mathrm{O}=\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}$ bond and the plane containing the $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{C}$ bonds. (Notice that one bond is common to both.) Sketch the two structures of methyl formate: one in which this dihedral angle is $0^{\circ}$ and the other in which it is $180^{\circ}$
Use the structure of methyl methacrylate below to identify each bond angle indicated. Note: you may have to add in lone pairs to complete octets. A. The bond angle shown by number 1 is [ Select ]. B. The bond angle shown by number 2 is [ Select ]. C. The bond angle shown by number 3 is [ Select ]. D. The bond angle shown by number 4 is [ Select ].
