A molecule contains four bonded pairs of electrons and zero lone pairs. What is the name of the molecular geometry?
a. linear
b. trigonal planar
c. trigonal pyramidal
d. tetrahedral

Respuesta :

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A tetarhedral geometry is the geometry which includes four atoms bonded to the central atom and it does not contain any lone pair of electron.

For example,  [tex]CH_{4}[/tex] has tetrahedral geometry.

Thus, we can conclude that a molecule which contains four bonded pairs of electrons and zero lone pairs. The name of the molecular geometry is tetrahedral.
