Answer:

tetrahedral

Step-by-step explanation:

These hybrid orbitals have a specific orientation, and the four are naturally oriented in a tetrahedral fashion. Thus, the four covalent bonds of methane consist of shared electron pairs with four hydrogen atoms in a tetrahedral configuration, as predicted by VSEPR theory
