Q: What is the bond angle in a methane (CH4) molecule?
Solution:
In methane, the bond angle is approximately 109.5 degrees due to its tetrahedral geometry.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that methane (CH4) is a molecule made of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.
Step 2: Know that in methane, the carbon atom is at the center and the four hydrogen atoms are positioned around it.
Step 3: Recognize that the arrangement of these atoms forms a shape called a tetrahedron.
Step 4: In a tetrahedron, the bond angles between the hydrogen atoms are equal.
Step 5: Measure the bond angle, which is the angle between any two hydrogen atoms connected to the carbon atom.
Step 6: Conclude that the bond angle in methane is approximately 109.5 degrees.
