Define hybridization ? Explain the hybridization in Methane molecule.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`CH_(4)` - Mathane Molecule (Refer Q. No 41.)
The molar formula of Mathane is `CH_(4)`
Electronic configuration of C is ground state `-1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(2)`
Electron configuration of C in excited state `-1s^(2)2s^(1)2p^(3)`
Valance orbital representation-

The valence orbital contains unparied electron. Hence `sp^(3)` hybridized carbon combine with 4 hydrogen atom forms methane molecule.
