What is the C-N-C bond angle in the following compound?(a) 107°(b) 108°(c) 109°(d) 109.5°I have been asked this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.The question is from Structure of Amines in section Amines of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (b) 108°

For explanation I would say: The shown COMPOUND is an amine with three methyl group. This induces a steric effect between the three alkyl GROUPS, and results in a slight INCREASE in bond ANGLE from 107° (bond angle in ammonia).
