Which of the following molecules has a tetrahedral geometry?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A tetrahedral geometry means that the central atom has four bonded atoms or lone pairs arranged around it, creating a shape similar to a pyramid with a triangular base. In molecule choice C, carbon has four different bonded atoms (one hydrogen and three carbon), which results in a tetrahedral geometry. The other molecules do not have this arrangement of atoms, and therefore do not have a tetrahedral geometry.
