In which of the following species electronic arrangement is NOT tetrahedral with respect to underlined atom?

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The concept of VSEPR theory is used here.

A. : C is sp³ hybridized, tetrahedral electron geometry.

B. : N is sp³ hybridized, tetrahedral electron geometry (trigonal pyramidal molecular geometry).

C. : Cl is sp³ hybridized, tetrahedral electron geometry (bent molecular geometry).

Therefore, the correct answer is D. All have tetrahedral electron arrangements.
