Solution

The correct option is A All bond angles are ${109.5}^{o}$
$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{3} \to$ propane
Correct statement
1) $s p^{3}$ hybridised.
2) $C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{3} + 5 O_{2} \to 3 C O_{2} + 4 H_{2} O$
3) Bond angles are ${109.5}^{\circ}$ (not correct).
4) $C H_{3} - C H_{2} - C H_{3} P o l y m e r i s a t i o n \to (- C H_{2} + C H 2 + C H_{2} -)_{n}$
Polypropylene
