09 question (1 point) below is the structure for the amino acid glycine. which bond angles are closest to…

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze N - atom hybridization

The nitrogen atom in glycine has three bonding pairs and one lone - pair. It is $sp^{3}$ hybridized. For an $sp^{3}$ hybridized atom, the ideal bond angle is approximately $109.5^{\circ}$. But due to the presence of the lone - pair, the bond angle $H - N - C$ will be less than $109.5^{\circ}$, around $107^{\circ}$.

Step2: Analyze C - atom hybridization in carbonyl group

The carbon atom in the $C = O$ group is $sp^{2}$ hybridized. The oxygen - carbon - oxygen (in the carboxyl group) and oxygen - carbon - carbon (in the context of the whole glycine structure) bond angles for an $sp^{2}$ hybridized carbon are approximately $120^{\circ}$. So the $O - C - O$ bond angle in the carboxyl group of glycine is around $120^{\circ}$.

Answer:

The $H - N - C$ bond angle is around $107^{\circ}$ and the $O - C - O$ bond angle is around $120^{\circ}$.
