The bond angle for methane is the angle determined by two consecutive hydrogen atoms and the central carbon atom. a. True
b. False

a. True

Explanation:

The bond angle for methane is the angle determined by two consecutive hydrogen atoms and the central carbon atom.

Methane, a tetrahedron has the structural formula:

                             H

                              |

                    H  -   C   -  H

                              |

                             H            Methane, CH4

The bond angle is the angle between the H-C-H atoms and is 109.5degrees.

the number of valence electrons for each molecule or ion is shown beneath the structure. remember hydrogen will not have more than two electrons. this hydrogen is part of a covalent bond (sharing two electrons). a double bond here would cause hydrogen to share four electrons with phosphorus.
