The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given species has an interatomic bond angle of `109°28'`, we need to identify the molecular geometry of each species and check if it corresponds to a tetrahedral shape, which has a bond angle close to `109°28'`. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Tetrahedral Geometry**: - The bond angle of `109°28'` is characteristic of a tetrahedral molecular geometry. In a tetrahedral arrangement, a central atom is bonded to four other atoms, and the angles between the bonds are approximately `109.5°`. 2. **Identifying the Species**: - We need to analyze the given options to see which species can exhibit tetrahedral geometry. The options provided are: - A) NH3 and BF4^- - B) NH4^+ and BF3 - C) NS2- and VF3 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A: NH3 and BF4^-** - **NH3 (Ammonia)**: The structure of NH3 has a trigonal pyramidal shape due to the presence of a lone pair on nitrogen. The bond angles are approximately `107°`, not `109°28'`. - **BF4^- (Tetrafluoroborate)**: The structure of BF4^- is tetrahedral, with bond angles of `109.5°`. This matches our required angle. - **Option B: NH4^+ and BF3** - **NH4^+ (Ammonium)**: This species has a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of `109.5°`. This matches our required angle. - **BF3 (Boron Trifluoride)**: This species has a trigonal planar geometry with bond angles of `120°`, which does not match. - **Option C: NS2- and VF3** - **NS2-**: The geometry of this species is not commonly known, but it is likely not tetrahedral. - **VF3 (Vanadium Trifluoride)**: This species has a trigonal bipyramidal geometry, which does not match our required angle. 4. **Conclusion**: - From the analysis, we find that both **BF4^-** and **NH4^+** exhibit tetrahedral geometry. However, since the question asks for a species with a bond angle of `109°28'`, we can conclude that **BF4^-** and **NH4^+** are valid candidates, but since the question likely refers to the most common example, **BF4^-** is the primary answer. ### Final Answer: The species with an interatomic bond angle of `109°28'` is **BF4^-**.
