Answer:

Now, carbon has 4 unpaired electrons. In the excited state, carbon has 4 unpaired electrons — 1 in 2s and 3 in 2p orbitals — thereby explaining the tetravalent nature of carbon. The four orbitals can overlap with other incompletely filled orbitals such as hydrogen, chlorine to form four covalent bonds
