Hybridisation helps us to understand the geometry of the molecules. This is because hybridised orbitals are directed in space in some preferred directions to have stable arrangement, which determine the geometry. The common hybridisation are sp (linear), `sp^(2)` (trigonal planar), `sp^(3)` (tetrahedral), `sp^(3)d` (trigona bipyramidal), `sp^(3)d^(2)` (octahedral) and `sp^(3)d^(3)` (pentagonal bipyramidal). The presence of lone pairs in addition to bond pairs distort the geometry because `"lone pair "-" lone pair repulsion"gt" lone pair "-" bond repulsion" gt" bond pair" -"bond pair repulsion"`.
Give an example of molecule involving `sp^(3)` hybridisation.

To provide a step-by-step solution to the question regarding an example of a molecule involving sp³ hybridization, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Hybridization Hybridization is the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals that are suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in molecular geometry. ### Step 2: Identify the Hybridization Type In this case, we are looking for an example of a molecule with sp³ hybridization. This type of hybridization occurs when one s orbital and three p orbitals mix to form four equivalent sp³ hybrid orbitals. ...
