Which from following molecules is tetrahedral?
- A \(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{H}_2\)
- B \(\mathrm{CH}_4\).
- C \(\mathrm{BeCl}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{BF}_3\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{CH}_4\).
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\mathrm{CH}_4\) shows \(\mathrm{sp}^3\) hybridisation, thus it has tetrahedral geometry.
