AB4 type with no lone pair shows geometry.
Correct answer: A. Tetrahedral
- A. Tetrahedral
- B. Trigonal
- C. Bent
- D. Linear
Explanation
The tetrahedral geometry exists when there are 4 bonds and 0 lone pairs.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
