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

A

bent, sp

B

trigonal planar, `sp^(2)`

C

octahedral, `sp^(3)d`

D

tetrahedral, `sp^(3)`

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

D

Silicon (Si), like carbon(C), has four valence electrons and is capable of forming `sp^(3)` hybrid orbitals. In case of `Si(CH_(3))_(4)`, we have
