Question

According to VSEPR theory, a molecule of methane, a greenhouse gas with a chemical formula of CH4 would most likely have the shape of(1 point) Responses Tetrahedral, having no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom and bond angles of 109.5°. Tetrahedral, having no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom and bond angles of 109.5°. This molecule can't be represented with a VSEPR model. This molecule can't be represented with a VSEPR model. Linear, with a bond angle of 180° and two sets of lone pairs of electrons. Linear, with a bond angle of 180° and two sets of lone pairs of electrons. Octahedral, with angles of 90° or 180° because it is composed of five atoms.

Answer 1

According to VSEPR theory, a molecule of methane (CH₄) would most likely have the shape of **tetrahedral**, having no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom and bond angles of approximately **109.5°**. So the correct response is:

**Tetrahedral, having no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom and bond angles of 109.5°.**
