What is the H-C-H Bond Angle in a Methane Molecule

Question

What is the H-C-H bond angle in a methane molecule?
A) 104°
B) 120°
C) 105.9°
D) 109.5°

Accepted Answer

The H-C-H bond angle in a methane molecule is 109.5°. This is because methane has a tetrahedral shape, with each H atom occupying one of the corners and the C atom at the center. The tetrahedral angle between the H atoms is 109.5°.
