What is the shape of a molecule with a tetrahedral geometry? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that a tetrahedral geometry involves one central atom.
  • Step 2: Recognize that this central atom is bonded to four other atoms.
  • Step 3: Visualize the arrangement of these atoms; they are positioned at the corners of a pyramid.
  • Step 4: Note that the base of the pyramid is a triangle, and the shape extends upward to the central atom.
