Question

silicon tetrachloride involves .............. hybridization​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the molecule SiCl  4  the central atom Si has 4 valence electrons where the Si atom is forming 4 sigma bonds with Cl atoms and therefore the stearic number of Si is 4 which imply that the hybridization of the molecule is sp  3  where the geometry and the shape is tetrahedral.
