Tetrahedral geometry is obtained when the central atom is bonded with four atoms.

<h3>When is the tetrahedral geometry obtained?</h3>

Tetrahedral literally means "having four faces" because the prefix tetra- specifies four and the suffix -hedral denotes a face of a solid. This shape develops when there are no lone electron pairs and four bonds are all on the same core atom. According to the VSEPR theory, the bond angles between the electron bonds are 109.5°.

Tetrahedral molecules include methane (CH4) as one example. The four comparable bonds in three dimensions correspond to the four corners of a tetrahedron centered on the carbon atom, and they point in the same four geometric directions. Compounds with this molecular shape will have the formula AX4.

When ice melts, what happens to the water molecules?
Naddik [55]

Not much.

Ice is only water, when the molecules are submitted to low temeperatures and have formed a crystalline arrangement of low density. In ice, the molecules arange themselves in hexagons with hydrogen bonds binfing each molecule.

When ice melts it turnes into water and the molecules leave the crystalline shape and come back to their normal density. In water, not all molecules are binded forming short and irregular lines.

→ In the image below, you can see the arrangement of ice and water.
