Textbook Question
Chapter 4.7, Problem 4.22YT
Skill Building Methane—Flat or Tetrahedral?
- a. If the methane molecule were flat, as the two-dimensional Lewis structure seems to predict, what would the H─C─H bond angle be?
- b. Offer a reason why the tetrahedral shape, not the two-dimensional flat shape, is more advantageous for this molecule.
Hint: Think about the position of electrons around the carbon atom.
- c. Consider the part of the music stand circled in yellow, shown in Figure 4.9. In the analogy of shape using a music stand, where would the carbon atom be located? Where would each of the hydrogen atoms be?
