what is the molecular geometry of trans-difluroethylene: trans-C2H2F2?

i want to say it is a tetrahedral because it has four atoms and no lone pairs, but im not sure.

It looks to me like it has 6 atoms.

It does not look tetrahedral.

Our chief chemistry expert will be back in about a week. I am sorry the rest of us cannot answer some of your chemistry questions while he is away.
