Question

question 7 (1 point) listen what hybridization does a ch₄ tetrahedral carbon have? a) sp³ b) sp³d c) sp d) sp²

Explanation:

In $CH_4$, carbon has 4 valence - electrons and forms 4 sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms. To form these 4 equivalent bonds, one s - orbital and three p - orbitals of carbon hybridize to form four $sp^3$ hybrid orbitals.

Answer:

A. $sp^3$
