The structure and hybridisation of organometallic `Si(CH_(3))_(4)` is

A

trigonal, `sp^(2)`

B

bent, sp

C

tetrahedral , `sp^(3)`

D

octahedral, `sp^(3)d`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Tetramethyl silane, `Si(CH_(3))_(4)`, is `sigma` - organomtallic with steric number 4. Thus, its hybridisation is `sp^(3)` and geometry is tetrahedral.
