Tetrahedral molecular geometry
ID: tetrahedral-molecular-geometry
Tetrahedral molecular geometry is a three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in which a central atom is bonded to four other atoms positioned at the corners of a tetrahedron. This geometry is characterized by bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees. The tetrahedral shape results from the repulsion between electron pairs around the central atom, which is often carbon or a similar atom with four bonding sites.
