2.

The C-O-H bond angle in ethanol is nearly

  • 90°

  • 104°

  • 120°

  • 180°


A.

90°

In ethanol the oxygen of -OH group is bonded to the sp3 hybridised carbon by a sigma bond. The -C-O-H bond angle in ethanol is less than the tetrahedral angle (109° 28) due to larger repulsions between the lone pairs of repulsions between the lone pairs of oxygen.  Hence it is 104° in ethanol.
