Tetrahedral
Trigonal bipyramidal
All of the hydrogens on methane are evenly spaced apart at 109.5 degree bonds. This makes the geometry tetrahedral.
the electronic geometry is the arrangement of REDs around the central atom. these REDs consist of both bonding pairs and lone pairs where the bonding pairs can either be single, double or tripple bonds. .
