Question

In the three-dimensional structure of methane,  the hydrogen atoms attached to a carbon atom are aligned

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is option E because methane (CH4) has a tetrahedral shape in which the four hydrogen atoms are arranged around the carbon atom at the corners of a tetrahedron. The bond angles between the hydrogen atoms are approximately 109.5 degrees, which results in a three-dimensional shape that resembles a pyramid with a triangular base.
