Problem

Consider the following compounds


(1) $\text{H}_3\text{CF}$	(2) $\text{H}_2\text{CF}_2$	(3) $\text{CH}_4$
(4) $\text{H}_3\text{CCF}_3$	(5) $\text{CH}_3^+\text{CH}_2$	(6) $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4$

and calculate the value of

Y + X

(where

X

is the total number of compounds which have

\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{H}

bond angles equal to

109^\circ 28'

and

Y

is the total number of compounds which have

\text{H}-\text{C}-\text{H}

bond angles greater than

109^\circ 28'

and less than

120^\circ
