The Carbon atoms in diamond are arranged in a regular tetrahedral structure. The basic unit of diamond consists of one carbon atom covalently linked to four adjacent carbon atoms (since carbon is quadrivalent) which are placed at the four corners of a regular tetrahedron. The angle between each of the four covalent bonds between the central atom and each of the corner atoms is 104 degrees 28 minutes. This basic unit extends throughout the crystal of diamond endowing it with enormous strength.

How are the H atoms in CH4 arranged?
They are arranged around carbon atoms.They arrange like a tetrahedral
What is a dimand made of?
The tetrahedral covalent structure of carbon is known as diamond.
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 molecular shape for CH3CL?
The molecular structure of dichloromethane, or Methylene Chloride (CH2CL2), is tetrahedral, with the hydrogen and chlorine atoms peripheral to the central carbon atom.

What element makes a diamond?
Carbon, as it forms tetrahedral structure.

What is the molecular shape of a methane molecule CH4?
The molecular shape of methane (CH4) is tetrahedral (Four hydrogen atoms surround a carbon atom in three-dimensional space) with sp3 orbital hybridization.

The molecule is H3C-CH3. At each C center the bonds are tetrahedral. There is free rotation about the C-C single bond

How are the the carbon atoms arranged in diamond?
Carbon atoms are arranged in a tetrahedral fashion. Four carbon atoms will form single covalent bonds around the central atom all at the maximum angle away from each other (approx 109 degrees). These four are then joined by a further three carbon atoms again all having single covalent bonds. These bonds just keep forming. Use this link, below, to get a view of it: the black dots represent carbon atoms and the lines are single covalent bonds.In a diamond, the carbon atoms are arranged tetrahedrally.
A form of the element carbon in which the atoms are arranged in a crystal structure?
Diamond
What is the molecular geometry around the carbon in CF4 is?
tetrahedral .... :)
What is the molecular geometry for CBr4?
whenever carbon atom forms four covalent bonds the basic structure is tetrahedral because carbon in such cases is sp3 hybridized.
How can diamond and graphite both be carbon?
This is because the carbon atoms are arranged differently in diamond and graphite. In a diamond, the carbon atoms are in a three dimensional crystal lattice structure. In graphite, the carbon atoms are arranged in a two dimensional sheet.
