The C−O−H\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H} bond angle in alcohol is
Solution:  
C−O−H\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}-\mathrm{H} bond angle in alcohol is slightly less than 109∘28′109^{\circ} 28'.
The oxygen atom is sp3s p^3 hybridised but because of the mutual repulsion of 2 lone pairs of electrons on it the resultant bond angle C-O-H is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle.
