Give the approximate bond angle for a molecule with a tetrahedral shape.
A) 109.5°
B) 200°
C) 120°
D) 107°
E) 45°

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tetrahedral molecule has four bond pairs, and the bond angle is determined by the geometry of the tetrahedron. The ideal bond angle for a tetrahedral molecule is 109.5°, which is the case for methane (CH4) and other molecules with tetrahedral geometry. Therefore, choice A) is the correct answer. Choices B), C), E) are not correct because they do not correspond to the ideal bond angle for a tetrahedral molecule, while choice D) is close but not exact.
