Question

The F-C-F bond angle in the CH2F2 molecule is approximately __________.

Group of answer choices


180°


90°


120°


60°


109.5°

Answer 1

109.5° and it’s a Tetrahedral shape - a Carbon atom has 4 valence electrons and can share each electron with each of the 2 H atoms and 2 of the F atoms in order for them to form a full valence shell. This forms a 109.5° bond angle between F-C-F and all other atoms as the molecule experiences repulsion (atoms are trying to be as far apart as possible).

Answer 2

109.5°
