Anyway, seeing as Tetra means 4, surely the only possible shape for a molecule of carbon tetrabromide is a tetrahedron, as anyone with a basic knowledge of classical studies would know without using Valences, shells, repulsive stuff or google.

"In England, 16-year-olds are asked in their science exams whether we sweat through our lungs or our skin."Tags: None
