Question #283878

How does a trigonal pyramidal molecule differ from a tetrahedral molecule in terms of their molecular geometry?


Expert's answer

A tetrahedral is a kind of pyramidal structure that has four “equal” triangular sides or faces (four identical atoms). A trigonal pyramid, on the other hand, has one lone atom and three identical atoms at its corners.Tetrahedral molecules are non-polar while trigonal pyramids are polar.
