QUESTION:

Predict all approximate bond angles about each highlighted carbon atom. To make these predictions, use valence-shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory (Section 1.4).

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 6

Cyclopentene: 

The carbon placed at the top will contain \({\rm{s}}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{3}}}\) hybridization due to a single bond and will have \({109.5^ \circ }\) as the bond angle.

The bottom carbon’s bond angle will be \({120^ \circ }\) due to attaching with a double bond.
