Expain the formation of methane molecule on the basis of hybridization.

Explanation

The electronic configuration of the central carbon atom `(x=6)` is methane is 2,4. Each of the four electrons present in the valence shell forms shared pairs with the electrons of the hydrogen atoms as shown below:
Methane has a tetrahedral structure which is multiplanar, in which carbon atom lies at the centre and the four hydrogen atoms lie at the four comers of regular tetrahedran. All H-C-H bodn angles are `109.5^(@)`.
