A central tetrahedral atom has 4 sp3 orbitals around it. Each orbital is capable of handling 2 electons in it.
(I suppose that these two electrons are what you are calling charge clouds?)

That's kind of a trick question. You see, a molecule that is a tetrahedral is in a quaderateral random* spin and thus is constantly changing various cloud formations at different times intervals. This also depends on the temperature and at what velocity. There can be an average derived but that will not conclude a valid summation. Actually, I have no clue.

If you mean areas of high electron density the answer would be 4.
