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

A

octahedral, `sp^(3)d^(2)`

B

tetrahedral, `sp^(3)`

C

bent, sp

D

trigonal, `sp^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In tetramethyl silicane i.e., `Si(CH_(3))_(4), Si` is `sp^(3)` hybridised . Hence it has tetrahedral structure.
