Answer : A tetrahedral molecule has 4 regions of high electron density around the central atom. These molecules have central atoms with 0 lone pairs and 4 atoms bonded to them.

Explanation :  

As we are given the molecular geometry of the molecule that is tetrahedral and the hybridization of tetrahedral molecule is, sp^3.

That means the number of electron density around the central atom is 4 and the electronic geometry or the molecular geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

And these molecule have central atoms with zero (0) lone pair and four (4) atoms bonded to them.

For example : In CH_4  molecule, the central atom is carbon and neighboring atoms are 4 hydrogen atoms. The number of electron density is 4 that means the hybridization will be sp^3 and the electronic geometry or the molecular geometry of the molecule will be tetrahedral.

In CH_4  molecule, the central atom (carbon) has zero lone pair and the central atom (carbon) bonded with 4 hydrogen atoms.

<span>The answer is "A tetrahedral molecule has 4 regions of high electron density around the central atom. These molecules have central atoms with 0 lone pairs and 4 atoms bonded to them." Based on the octet rule, the atom must have 8 electrons to become stable. As a result, the molecule will not have lone pairs.</span>

In which case would an electron experience the greatest effective nuclear charge? not all cases describe an atom in the ground s
lisabon 2012 [21]

One electron in an atom experiences the entire positive charge of the nucleus. Coulomb's law can be used in this situation to determine the effective nuclear charge.

In contrast, the outside electrons in an atom with many electrons are drawn to the positive nucleus and repelled by the negatively charged electrons at the same time. The force between two stationary, electrically charged particles can be measured using Coulomb's law inverse-square law, also known as Coulomb's law. Conventionally, the electric force between two charged objects at rest is referred to as the Coulomb force or electrostatic force.

The electron is a subatomic particle with the symbol e or with an electric charge of one elementarily negative charge. The lepton particle family's first generation includes electrons.
