One: a tetrahedron is a single solid.
The ratios are "small to large".
In a molecule of phosphorus fluoride, the phosphorus atom is in the center, and it is surrounded by the three fluoride atoms which are arranged at three of the four points of a tetrahedron. (The fourth point of the tetrahedron contains an electron pair from the phosphorus atom.)
A four faced figure is a tetrahedron. If they are all congruent triangles, they are all equilateral triangles and it is a regular tetrahedron - one of the 5 Platonic Solids.

No.
I am not a tetrahedron!

A tetrahedron.
A pyramid with a triangle as base is considered as a tetrahedron. It is a three dimensional polyhedron with 4 equilateral triangles as its sides. If one would look at the word tetrahedron, it literally means "with four planes".
A silica tetrahedron is composed of four atoms of silicon and one atom of oxygen.
A basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron consists of one silicon atom at the center bonded to four oxygen atoms at the corners. Therefore, there is one silicon atom in a basic silicon-oxygen tetrahedron.
No. The faces of a tetrahedron are equilateral triangles, but none of the faces is parallel to another one of the faces -- they could not be parallel, since by the definition of a tetrahedron, all the faces intersect(!) and parallel planes do not intersect.
