Question 3
In the methane molecule, CH4, each hydrogen atom is at the corner of a regular tetrahedron with the carbon atom at
the center. If one of the C-H is in the direction of
A=î+j+k
B=î-ĵ-k.
results to an angular bond of approximately 109⁰ for a static frozen molecule.
However, the molecule we can encounter everyday continuously vibrates and interact with the surrounding causing its
bond vector to vary slightly. According to a new spectroscopy analysis, the adjacent bond vectors was found to be
A = 0.93i+1.03j + 0.82k
B = 0.85i + -0.82j + -1.01k
and an adjacent C-H bond is at the direction
What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?
Note: Only 1% of error is permitted for the correct answer.
