Answer:
When sp3 orbitals are formed, they arrange themselves so that they are as far apart as possible. That is a tetrahedral arrangement, with an angle of 109.5°. Nothing changes in terms of the shape when the hydrogen atoms combine with the carbon, and so the methane molecule is also tetrahedral with 109.5° bond angles

Answer:
carbon hydrogen covalent bond
The hydrogen atoms have a 109 degree bond angle giving the molecule a tetrahedral geometry . The strength of the carbon hydrogen covalent bond in the methane molecule is among the strongest in all hydrocarbons, and thus its use as a chemical feedstock is limited.
