text: A few molecules have a tetrahedral geometry with no central atom. An inorganic example is tetraphosphorus () which has four phosphorus atoms at the vertices of a tetrahedron and each bonded to the other three. An organic example is tetrahedrane () with four carbon atoms each bonded to one hydrogen and the other three carbons. In this case the theoretical C−C−C bond angle is just 60° (in practice the angle will be larger due to bent bonds), representing a large degree of strain.
