Question

Describe the formation of molecules CH4. BeF2, NH3, and H20. on the basis of orbital overlapping. Write the name of the overlapping. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Because of hybridisation. All the central atoms of the above mentioned molecules undergo sp3 hybridisation. So the orbitals of central atom are not pure but sp3 hybrid orbitals. So the overlap is between sp3 hybridised orbital of central atom and pure s orbital of hydrogen.
