Which bond angle is the smallest? A)H-C-H in CH₄ B)H-C-H in C₂H₄ C)H-C-H in H₂CO D)H-C-C in C₂H₂ E)H-C-O in H₂CO

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The H-C-H bond angle in CH₄ (methane) is the smallest among the options because it has a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of approximately 109.5°. The other molecules have different geometries or electron repulsions that lead to larger bond angles.
