Question

explain geometry of methane molecule on the basis of hybridization​

Answer 1

Answer:

One electron from the 2s orbital of the carbon

atom is excited to the 2pz orbital. Then the

four orbitals 2s, px, py, and pz mix and recast

to form four new sp3 hybrid orbitals having the

same shape and equal energy. ... Thus, in CH4

molecule, there are four C–H bonds formed by

the sp3–s overlap.
