Correct Answer
A. DExplanation
The correct answer is d. In the given options, only option d is a tetrahedral shape. A tetrahedron is a three-dimensional shape with four triangular faces, six edges, and four vertices. Option d represents a tetrahedron as it has four triangular faces meeting at a common vertex.Rate this question:

Which of the following is true about C.? Check all the boxes that apply. A. B. C. D. E. F.
-
Its angle is 180*
-
CO2, H2O, and Na2S are examples of this
-
It involves 3 atoms
-
Its called linear triatomic
-
This shape says the molecule is polar
Correct Answer(s)
A. Its angle is 180*
A. It involves 3 atoms
A. Its called linear triatomicExplanation
H2O is a bent triatomic shape, and this shape is NOT polar because the two opposing atoms are canceling one another's polarity out.Rate this question:
