Answer:
Now coming to the hybridization of methane, the central atom carbon is sp3 hybridized. This is because one 2s orbital and three 2p orbitals in the valence shell of carbon combine to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals which are of equal energy and shape.

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 sp3hybrid orbitals, one of which is occupied by a lone pair of electrons.
