Question

consider the molecule you constructed within the phet simulation, identify compound that displays this molecular geometry. select an answer and submit. for keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a ch₄ your answer b co c h₂o d po₄³⁻

Explanation:

• $CH_4$ has a tetrahedral molecular geometry.
• $CO$ is linear.
• $H_2O$ has a bent molecular geometry.
• $PO_4^{3 - }$ has a tetrahedral molecular geometry too, but without knowing the specific geometry from the simulation, if we assume a common simple - case tetrahedral geometry often shown in basic simulations, $CH_4$ is a very common example.

Answer:

A. $CH_4$
