Assuming pure 2s and 2p orbitals of Carbon are used in forming CH4 molecule, which if the following is false? (a) 3 C-H bonds will be at right angles (b) 1 C-H bond will be weaker than other 3 C-H bonds (c) The shape of the molecule will be tetrahedral. (d) The angle of C-H bond formed by s-s overlapping will be uncertain with respect to other 3 bonds

CH4 has tetrahederal structure orientation with sp3 hybridization.
hece 4 C-H bonds would be at equal angles with each C-H bond.
and that would be 109.5 degree and that is practically observed.
And all would have same strength as all are identical.
