Detailed Solution

It is given to find out the compound X, all the bond angles are exactly 109°28';X
Explanation

In the compound X, all the bond angles are exactly 109°28'X is carbon tetrachloride.
CCl4 has sp3 - hybridization with 4 bond pairs and 0 lone pairs of electrons giving regular tetrahedron geometry as all the four C-Cl bonds are equivalent. In others, the geometry is a little distorted in spite of sp3 hybridization due to different atoms on the vertices of a tetrahedron.
