tetraedraalne
Tetraedraalne refers to a specific geometric arrangement of atoms or molecules. It describes a shape where a central atom or group is bonded to four other atoms or groups, and these four surrounding entities are positioned at the corners of a tetrahedron. A tetrahedron is a polyhedron with four triangular faces, six edges, and four vertices. In a tetraedraalne arrangement, the bond angles between the central atom and any two of the surrounding atoms are approximately 109.5 degrees. This specific bond angle is a consequence of the spatial repulsion between the electron clouds of the bonded atoms or groups, leading to the most stable and spread-out configuration.
This geometry is very common in organic chemistry, particularly in carbon-containing compounds. For instance, methane (CH4),
