The molecule SiH4 has the silicon atom in the center (naturally) and the four hydrogen atoms are arranged very symmetrically at the corners of a tetrahedron, surrounding the silicon atom. Each hydrogen atom shares its single electron with the silicon, and the silicon shares its four valence electrons evenly with the four hydrogen atoms.

What is the electron-pair geometry around the Si atom in SiH4 is?

The electron-pair geometry around the silicon (Si) atom in SiH4 is tetrahedral. This is because silicon is surrounded by four hydrogen (H) atoms, each forming a single bond with silicon. The four electron pairs (bonding pairs) repel each other and adopt a spatial arrangement that minimizes this repulsion, resulting in a tetrahedral shape with bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees.
