Methane and the perchlorate ion are both described as tetrahedral. What does this indicate about their bond angles?


Methane ({\rm CH}_{4}) and the perchlorate ion ({\rm ClO}_{4}^{-}) are both described as tetrahedral. What does this indicate about their bond angles?
bond angles in the methane molecule are greater than in the perchlorate ion
bond angles in the perchlorate ion are greater than in the methane molecule
bond angles in the methane molecule and in the perchlorate ion are equal
Correct
