4 electron pairs around a central atom adopt tetrahedral geometry.
Explanation:
The most obvious real example is the water molecule. Around oxygen there are 2 lone pairs, and 2 bonding pairs in the
But we describe molecular geometry on the basis of atomic not electronic geometry. Thus water is a bent molecule, with
