Critical Thinking Questions
9 Use VSEPR to explain why the ZHBH bond angle of BH; is 120°. (Hint: What is one-third se
360°?)
10. Both the HCH and ZHCO bond angles of H2CO (formaldehyde) are very close to 120°, but one
is slightly smaller than the other. Predict which is smaller, and explain your reasoning.
11. Use VSEPR to assign a value of "close to 180" or “close to 120" to each bond angle marked
with a dotted line. (These angles are drawn as either 90° or 180°, but may be another value.)

12. Consider the following flat drawing of methane (CH4).
What is ZHCH bond angle implied by this drawing if you assume it is flat?
a.
H -C-H
b.
Are the electron domains of this flat CH4 spread out as much as possible?
C.
Use model materials to make a model of CH4 (methane). If you assembled it correctly, the
four bonds (bonding electron domains) of your model will be 109.5° apart.
d.
in which representation, the drawing above or the model in your hand (circle one) are the
H's of CH4 more spread out around the central carbon?
