Explain the structure of methane by valence bond theory

Answers

Answered by Anonymous

Answer:

The bonds in a methane (CH4) molecule are formed by four separate but equivalent orbitals; a single 2s and three 2p orbitals of the carbon hybridize into four sp3 orbitals. In the ammonia molecule (NH3), 2s and 2p orbitals create four sp3 hybrid orbitals, one of which is occupied by a lone pair of electrons.

Answer:

. VSEPR is a subset of valence bond. It's just a way of figuring out molecular geometries. The fundamental difference is that valence bond theory describes bonds as local structures, while molecular orbital treats them as more diffuse and spread out over the whole molecule
