Answer to Question #162831 in Organic Chemistry for Mons

Question

SHCHCHOH

Answer 1

The structure of the compound is given below:

SH-CH=CH-OH

One could see that there is a double bond between the two carbon atoms which mean they are sp² hybridized. Recall that sp² hybridization results in a trigonal planar geometry. Therefore, the geometry of this molecule is trigonal planar with a bond angle of 120°
