Tetrahedral molecular geometry

Tetrahedral molecular geometry describes a molecule where a central atom is bonded to four other atoms positioned at the corners of a tetrahedron—an object with four triangular faces. Imagine a pyramid with a triangular base and a point at the top; the central atom is in the middle, with the four surrounding atoms at the points of the pyramid. This arrangement allows the atoms to be as far apart as possible, minimizing repulsion between electron pairs around the central atom, resulting in bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees.
