What will be the bond angle C-O-H in alcohol if C and O ATOM POSSESS SP^(3) hybridization

Answer»

`109^(@)28`
`111^(@)42`
`109^(@)`
`108^(@)30`

Solution :
Although O-atom is `sp^(3)`-hydrised and the 4 positions are occupied by H and `underset(|)overset(|)C-` group and other two by the lone PAIRS. Due to the bulky nature of `-underset(|)overset(|)C` group the bond ENLARGES to `111^(@)42'` from tetrahedral `109^(@)28'`
