What is the approximate value of the H-C-H bond angles in a methyl anion, CH₃^-? A)90^$\circ$ B)109^$\circ$ C)120^$\circ$ D)180^$\circ$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bond angles in a methyl anion are expected to be approximately tetrahedral, with bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees. The given molecule contains a sulfur atom and a lone pair, which can cause deviations from ideal tetrahedral geometry, but likely not enough to change the bond angle significantly. Therefore, the best choice is B, 109 degrees.
