Answer:tetrahedral

Explanation:

According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR). The number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule influences the shape of that molecule. Four electron pairs around the central atom of a molecule leads to a tetrahedral geometry as predicted by VSEPR.
