18
Q

How many regions of electron density and if applied then how many lone pairs does non linear have

A

4 regions of which two are lone pairs

19
Q

What is the bond angle for non linear

A

104.5 degrees

20
Q

Explain the tetrahedral shape of methane

A

There are 4 areas of electron density around the central C atom, 4 bonded pairs and no lone pairs. The bonds repel each other equally to form a tetrahedral shape and give a bond angle of 109.5 degrees
