Question

Shown are ball-and-stick (1)and space-filling (2)models of methane. 
-What is the H-C-H bond angle?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The H-C-H bond angle in methane is tetrahedral, which is 109.5°. Option A is incorrect because it is the bond angle of a linear molecule. Option C is incorrect because it is closer to the bond angle of a trigonal planar molecule. Option D is incorrect because it is the bond angle of a linear molecule.
