Bond Angles
12. Molecular Shapes & Valence Bond Theory / Bond Angles / Problem 3
Alkanes contain only single bonds, alkenes contain double bonds (C=C), and alkynes contain triple bonds (C≡C). Consider the compounds ethane (C2H6), ethene (C2H4), and ethyne (C2H2). Which would have the smallest C–C–H bond angle? Which would have the largest C–C–H bond angle?
