The electron pair geometry of a molecule is tetrahedral. What is its bond angle if it shows one lone pair of electrons and three bonding pairs? a.less than 109.5° b.more than 109.5 c.equal to 109.5° d.zero

OpenStudy (jfraser):

the "ideal" tetrahedral bond angle with 4 bonded pairs and zero lone pairs is 109.5 If you've got a lone pair pushing on the bonded pairs, what happens to the angle between the bonded electrons?
