Assertion : The hybridisation state of oxygen in water is same as in ether but the bond angle is less than 109°28' in water and greater than 109°28' in ether. Reason : Due to repulsion between two bulky alkyl groups the bond angle in ether becomes greater than 109°28'.
Options:
Answer:
A
Solution:
Bond angle in water is less than 109°28' because two lone pairs on oxygen exert greater repulsion on bond pair of electrons.
