Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure - Result Question 82
####84. In compound $X$, all the bond angles are exactly $109^{\circ} 28 ; X$ is
[1991]
(a) Chloromethane
(b) Carbon tetrachloride
(c) Iodoform
(d) Chloroform.
Show Answer
Solution:
- (b) All compounds have $s p^{3}$ hybridisation, but in $CCl_4$, all bonded atoms are same. Hence, the bond angle will be exactly $109^{\circ} 28^{\circ}$
