Hybridisation of carbon is CH(3)^(-)...

Hybridisation of carbon is `CH_(3)^(-)`

A

`sp^(2)`

B

`sp^(3)`

C

`sp^(3)d`

D

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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Structure for `CH_(3)^(-)` Total hybrid orbitals =numberof bonds + number of lone pair of electrons
=3+1=4
Hence hybridisation =`Sp^(3)`
