Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In order for a molecule to have a tetrahedral electron geometry and a tetrahedral molecular geometry, it must have four electron groups and four bonding groups. Option D, CH3Cl, fits this description and has a tetrahedral shape. The other options have different arrangements of electron and bonding groups, resulting in different shapes.
