The one that correctly matches a compound with its molecular geometry is Methane (CH4): tetrahedral.
- Molecular geometry is commonly described as a three-dimensional placing of the atoms that makes up a molecule.
It comprises of the general shape of the molecule, with bond lengths, bond angles, torsional angles and any other geometrical parameters that is used to find out the position of each atom.
Molecular shapes are essential in finding out macroscopic properties example melting and boiling points etc.
These geometries are often near, trigonal, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and octahedral and they can be determined by the VSEPR theory.
