A tetrahedron.

∙ 8y agoAssuming no lone pairs on the central atom (i.e. carbon atom), it would be a tetrahedron

∙ 7y agoGenerally you would expect it be a tetrahedron - although if you could get them to all lie in the same plane it would be a quadrilateral.

What would cause the shape of a molecule to be tetrahedral?
Four atoms bound to a central atom with no lone pairs
What is the shape of a molecule of sulfur tetrafluoride?
Tetrahedral. Actually, the molecular shape or geometry is called see-saw. There are five groups around the central sulfur which would make it trigonal bipyramidyl but one of these groups is a pair of electrons which does not contribute to the shape of the molecule. This lone pair is in the three membered ring in order to increase its separation from two of the fluorine-sulfur bonds.
A molecule with a bent shape with a bond angle of 104.5 would have how many unshared electrons around the central atom Count electrons not electron pairs?
four electrons . four electrons .
The shape of ammonia molecule?
It is Triangular pyramid It would be a trigonal pyramidal.
What two identical atoms are bonded together what kind of molecule is formed?
. A linear, nonpolar molecule i just take the test

What shape would a molecule of hydrogen sulfide have?
A hydrogen sulfide molecule, H2S, has a bent shape, similar to that of a water molecule.
A molecule that has a central atom surrounded by three single bond pairs and one unshared pair would have a shape.?
The shape would tend to be trigonal pyramidal. An example would be ammonia, NH3.
What is the molecular shape around the central atom in CF2Cl2?
The molecule that you describe, which would more accurately be written as CCl2F2 is the same shape as a methane molecule; the carbon is in the center, and it is surrounded by a symmetrical arrangement of two chlorine and two fluorine atoms, which are at the points of a tetrahedron.
