Methyl nitrate, is used as a rocket propellant. The skeletal structure of the molecule is The N and three O atoms all lie in the same plane, but the group is not in the same plane as the group. The bond angle is and the bond angle is One nitrogen-to-oxygen bond length is 136 pm, and the other two are 126 pm. (a) Draw a sketch of the molecule showing its geometric shape. (b) Label all the bonds in the molecule as or and indicate the probable orbital overlaps involved. (c) Explain why all three nitrogen-to-oxygen bond lengths are not the same.
