What is the molecular geometry of CF4?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the molecular geometry of CF4 (carbon tetrafluoride). To answer it, we can determine the shape of the molecule based on the arrangement of its atoms and electron pairs around the central carbon atom.
Answer
tetrahedral
The final answer is tetrahedral.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is tetrahedral.
More Information
The molecular geometry of CF4 (Carbon tetrafluoride) is tetrahedral, as it has a central carbon atom with four fluorine atoms bonded symmetrically and no lone pairs on the central atom.
