Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the molecular geometry of CH4?
  • Step 1: Identify the central atom in CH4, which is carbon (C).
  • Step 2: Count the number of hydrogen (H) atoms bonded to the carbon atom. There are four hydrogen atoms.
  • Step 3: Determine the number of bonding pairs. Each hydrogen atom forms one bond with the carbon atom, resulting in four bonding pairs.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the arrangement of four bonding pairs around a central atom leads to a specific shape.
  • Step 5: Understand that four bonding pairs create a tetrahedral shape, where the pairs are spaced evenly around the central atom.
