methanol: bond distance
« on: July 29, 2009, 11:21:33 PM »
Methanol has a C--O bond distance of 142 picometers.

My knowledge of bond distances is rusty. How am I suppose to figure out that it's 142 picometers?
Is that an experimentally determined value?  Is there some generic way of figuring that out?

Yes, it should be.
