Transcribed Image Text: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 +Î+k
and an adjacent C-H bond is at the direction
B=î-j-R.
results to an angular bond of approximately 109° 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 + 0.91j + 1.09k
B = 1.02i + -0.99j + -1.08k
What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?
