Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The tetrahedral bond angle is the angle between any two adjacent bonds in a tetrahedral molecule. In a tetrahedral molecule, the central atom is bonded to four other atoms or groups of atoms, which are arranged in a tetrahedral geometry. The tetrahedral bond angle is expected to be 109.5 degrees, which is the angle that maximizes the distance between four points on a sphere. Hence, the best choice is C, which gives the correct value for the tetrahedral bond angle.
