@hba @mark_o.

Answer 5

methane = CH4

Shape = (4 + 4)/2 = 4 tetrahedral angle 109.5

Answer 6

ammonia = NH3

shape = (5 +3)/2 = 4 but it has 1 lone pair (repulsion) angle 107.5

Answer 7

what is the "bond angle" part

Answer 8

water H20

(6 + 2)/2 it has 2 Lp So bond angle is 104.5

Answer 9

hope this helps

Answer 10

how do you find the bond angle?

Answer 11

@Yahoo! how do you find the bond angle? i dont understand....

Answer 12

@sirm3d can you help me?

Answer 13

the angles between bonds were computed using solid geometry, and the results were provided as facts in textbooks.
