Answer:
nonpolar tetrahedral
Explanation:
Lewis structure is used to represent the arrangement of the electrons around the atom in a molecule. The electrons are shown by dots and the bonding electrons are shown by line between the two atoms.
For ,
The number of valence electrons = 8
The skeleton structure of the compound is in which one C molecule act as a central atom and is bonded to the four H with one sigma bond each.
Number of valence electrons used in skeletal structure = 8
So,
Remaining valence electrons = 0
The Lewis structure of the compound is shown below:
H
:
C
: : :
H H H
The geometry is tetrahedral ,
And , the molecule is non polar in nature .
