Give the approximate bond angle for a molecule with a tetrahedral shape.
A)109.5°
B)180°
C)120°
D)105°

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A molecule with a tetrahedral shape has four bonded atoms or lone pairs of electrons around the central atom, arranged in a tetrahedral arrangement. The ideal bond angle for this arrangement is 109.5°, so choice A is the best answer. Choices B and C do not apply to a tetrahedral shape, and choice D is too small for a tetrahedral shape.
