It might seem that a square-planar geometry of four electron domains around a central atom would be more favorable than a tetrahedron. Can you rationalize why the tetrahedron is preferred, based on angles between electron domains?
The description for the given question is described in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Such an electron domain tetrahedral structure has always been favored even though the bond or attachment angles are 109.5 equivalent to 90. These angles in square-planar electron domain arrangements.
The greater bound angles lead to smaller or lesser repulsions between many electron domains as well as a more balanced framework.
