Exaples of a substance with tetrahedral geometry?
There are many compounds that exhibit tetrahedral structure. Some of those compounds are carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), chloroform (CHCl3), and methane (CH4). Many compounds of carbon (those which don't contain double bonds) are tetrahedral in structure because carbon tends to form four single bonds.
What is the molecular geometry of C3H6?
The molecule is H3C-CH3. At each C center the bonds are tetrahedral. There is free rotation about the C-C single bond
What is the Molecule shape of CH4?
Molecular shape is tetrahedral.It has no lone pairs.
How many structures for a tetrahedral with formula AX3Y?
1
Which molecule has a tetrahedral molecular geometry?
There are many, but the most common is methane (CH4).
Why a tetrahedral molecule containing four identical bonds can never be a polar molecule?
If there are 4 identical bonds, then there are equal pulls on all four bonds. Equal pulls = non polarity.
Is SiCl4 is tetrahedral?
Yes. Si bonds are tetrahedral.
What molecular geometry exists when a central carbon atom bonds to four other atoms?
tetrahedral
What bonds angles are found in tetrahedral compounds?
109.5

What is the shape of the bonds around the elements like nitrogen and phosphorus?
tetrahedral
What is the shape of a carbon atom as is bonds to four other atoms?
tetrahedral
What is the molecular geometry of CF3Cl?
It is a tetrahedral. When making a Lewis structure, you will see 4 effective bonds. Then use a VESPR chart, and you will find it is a tetrahedral.
What is the geometric shape of nitrogen molecules and phosphorus molecules having four bonds?
tetrahedral
What is the molecular shape of CCl4?
CCl4 shape is circular. This is determined by the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion theory (VSEPR). The repulsion of the molecule determines the shape of it. CCl4 has a tetrahedral shape, owing to four bond pairs of electrons repelling each other to positions of maximum separation and minimum repulsion. The angle between bonds is 109.5 degrees.
What bond is formed in methane?
Methane is a molecule with covalent bonds. Then again, there are different types of bonds. To be specific, Methane is a tetrahedral molecule with covalent long single bonds.
Why is methane tetrahedral?
Carbon has 4 bonds, bonded electrons repel one and other, so the tetrahedral shape is formed because the covalent bond between the carbon and the hydrogen causes a repulsion to the other bonds which themselves repulse. Therefore the bonds will repulse one and other until they are the maximum possible distance from each other. so the bond angle is the maximum it can be, in this case 109.5 degrees.
