Which of the following statements is correct for the acetonitrile molecule CH3-C

Question

Which of the following statements is correct for the acetonitrile molecule CH3-C-N? 36. H CCEN A.) There are five sigma bonds and two pi bonds, bond angles are 109.5 and 1800 B. There are six sigma bonds and one pi bond; bond angles are 109.5o and 180° C. There are five sigma bonds and two pi bonds; bond angles are 109.5° and 120° There are six sigma bonds and one pi bond; bond angles are 109.5° and 120°. E. There are five sigma bonds and two pi bonds; bond angles are 180° and 180 There are six sigma bonds and one pi bond; bond angles are 180° and 180°

Explanation / Answer

There are 5 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds
all single bonds are sigma and in triple bond,1 is sigma and 2 are pi

Bond angle for left most carbon is 109.5 degree since it is sp3 hybridised
Bond angle for 2nd carbon is 180 degree since it is sp hybridised

So, answer is A
