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=i+j+k and an adjacent C-H bond is at the direction B=i-j-k results to an angular bond of approximately 109o 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 = 1.06i + 0.98j + 0.9k B = 0.83i + -0.81j + -0.87k What is the angle (in degrees) between the bonds based on this new data?
