Lets consider the lewis structure for ccl 4.

We can draw the lewis structure on a sheet of paper.
For bent molecular geometry when the electron pair geometry is tetrahedral the bond angle is around 105 degrees. Choose from 410 different sets of bond angles vsepr chart flashcards on quizlet. For trigonal pyramidal geometry the bond angle is slightly less than 109 5 degrees around 107 degrees.
Its bond angles are 90 and 120 where the equatorial equatorial bonds are 120 apart from one another and all other angles are 90. The most convenient way is shown here. More vsepr examples some other examples shown on the vsepr chart are sulfur hexafluoride sf 6 whose six electron pairs give it octahedral geometry with 90 angles and co 2 which has two electron pairs and linear geometry.
