Question

What is the hybridization of carbon and oxygen in electronic structure of ether?

Answer 1

So since CH4 has four H's (four groups) on its central carbon atom, it's sp3 hybridized and takes a tetrahedral shape. Let's try another one: propene. We'll go with the central carbon atom, which has one single bond to H, one single bond to CH3, and one double bond to a CH2.
