It has a tetrahedral structure: there are three atoms of hydrogen attached to the central atom (carbon) as well as an oxygen. There are no lone pairs on the carbon. This will result in a steric number of 4.

Different types of geometry?

Euclidean geometry, non euclidean geometry. Plane geometry. Three dimensional geometry to name but a few


Is there more than one kind of geometry?

There are different kinds of geometry including elementary geometry, Euclidean geometry, and Elliptic Geometry.

What is a characteristic of non-euclidean geometry?

One main characteristic of non-Euclidean geometry is hyperbolic geometry. The other is elliptic geometry. Non-Euclidean geometry is still closely related to Euclidean geometry.


What is Non euclidean geometry?

Geometry that is not on a plane, like spherical geometry

What is the molecular geometry of CH3OH?

The molecular geometry of CH3OH (methanol) is tetrahedral. The carbon atom is at the center of the molecule with four electron groups around it - three hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group. The shape is distorted slightly due to the lone pairs on the oxygen atom.


Is methanol an acid?

Yes, methanol is a weak acid.


What is the solubility of hexane in methanol?

The solubility of hexane in methanol is low because hexane is a nonpolar molecule and methanol is a polar solvent. This means that hexane does not mix well with methanol.


How does methanol react with water?

Methanol is miscible with water, which means it can mix in any proportion. When methanol is added to water, it forms a homogenous solution due to hydrogen bonding interactions between the methanol and water molecules. This allows methanol to dissolve easily in water.


What is woods alcohols chemical name?

methanol CHO


Is methanol acidic in nature?

Yes, methanol is acidic in nature.


Is methanol a acid or base?

Methanol is a neutral compound and is neither classified as an acid nor a base.


What compounds are found in methanol?

Methanol is an alcohol and consists of carbon,hydrogen and oxygen its formula is CH3OH


Is methanol part of an aqueous solution?

There can be an aqueous solution with methanol in it. Methanol is a pure substance, so if not mixed with other substances it is a compound.


How many liters in one ton of methanol?

One liter of methanol is about 0.8 kg. One tonne of methanol is 1000 kg. Therefore one tonne pf methanol is about 1250 liters


Is water heavier than methanol?

No, water is heavier than methanol. Water has a higher density compared to methanol, which means that for the same volume, water will weigh more than methanol.


How Does a cup full of methanol and a pool full of methanol have the same mass?

A cup full of methanol and a pool full of methanol can have the same mass if the volume of methanol in the cup is equal to the volume of methanol in the pool. Mass is a property that depends on the amount of substance, which is determined by both the volume and the density of the material. If the cup and pool contain equal volumes of methanol, they will have the same mass, regardless of their sizes. However, in practical terms, a cup and a pool typically do not contain equal volumes of methanol.
