Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine which of the given species has tetrahedral geometry, we will analyze the hybridization and molecular geometry of each species mentioned. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the species**: The species we need to analyze are BH4^-, NH2^-, CO3^2-, and H3O^+. 2. **Analyze BH4^- (Boron Tetrahydride)**: - Boron (B) has 3 valence electrons, and with the addition of one electron due to the negative charge, it has a total of 4 electrons. ...
