Periodate, specifically the ion IO₄⁻, has a tetrahedral geometry. In this structure, the iodine atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms, arranged in a way that minimizes repulsion between the electron pairs. This tetrahedral arrangement is typical for molecules where a central atom is bonded to four other atoms with no lone pairs affecting the geometry.
