OK, question. Im probably the only idiot who made this mistake. For the bonding question (#6 i think) it asked for the bond angle of "F-C-F". I know that tetrahedrals have 109.5 but at the last second i changed it to 180 because it stated specifically F-C-F instead of showing the actual tetrahedral structure or instead of asking for it "around the C atom". I figured it was a trick question, lol. Yeh, i know theres electron repulsions so it wouldnt be exactly 180...etc so i put approximately 180. Is there anyway i could get credit for this or was this completely insanely stoooooooopid?
