(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The steric number of ${\text{CBr}}_4$ should be calculated. The molecular geometry for the same should be predicted.

Concept Introduction:

The molecular structure is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs around the central atom. It is also known as molecular geometry. Electron geometry is a 3-dimensional representation of bond pairs and lone pairs around the central atom.

Shape corresponds to electron geometry and geometry corresponds to molecular geometry or structure.
