Question

predict the geometry for cbr4. select the single best answer. bent octahedral seesaw tetrahedral trigonal pyramidal trigonal planar square planar

Explanation:

In $CBr_4$, carbon is the central atom. Carbon has 4 valence electrons and forms 4 single - bonds with 4 bromine atoms. According to the Valence - Shell Electron - Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory, when the central atom has 4 bonding pairs and 0 lone pairs, the molecular geometry is tetrahedral.

Answer:

tetrahedral
