Electronic Structure of Hydroxyl Group alcohols.
In alcohols, the oxygen of the –OH group is attached to carbon by a
sigma (σ ) bond formed by the overlap of a sp3 hybridised orbital of

angle in alcohols is slightly less than the tetrahedral angle (109°-28′).
It is due to the repulsion between the unshared electron pairs of O.
