A student used Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory to predict the shapes and bond angles of five species. The predictions are shown in the table.

Row Species Predicted shape Predicted bond angle
P \(\mathrm{CH_4}\) Square planar \(90^\circ\)
Q \(\mathrm{H_2O}\) Bent (V-shaped) \(109.5^\circ\)
R \(\mathrm{BF_3}\) Trigonal pyramidal \(107^\circ\)
S \(\mathrm{NH_3}\) Trigonal pyramidal \(120^\circ\)
T \(\mathrm{NH_4^+}\) Tetrahedral \(109.5^\circ\)


Which row or rows contain both a correct shape and a correct bond angle?
