Question

Why does carbon undergo hybridization?

Answer 1

Hey, mate here is your answer✌✌》》

Not only carbon, every atom in a molecule (of any element) undergoes hybridization for their respective atomic orbitals before forming any bond. This happens because the resulting hybridized orbitals are more stable than those initial atomic orbitals i.e., their energy level falls down a little.

Answer 2

Hybridization can occur with most atoms. For instance, the nitrogen in NH3 is sp3 hybridized. The reason we tend to focus on carbon is because hybridization plays such an important role in understanding bonding in organic chemistry.
