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

A

Bent, sp

B

Trigonal, `sp^2`

C

Octahedral, `sp^3 d`

D

Tetrahedral, `sp^3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Hybridization on silicon atom
`H = 1/2 (V + M - C + A)`
`H = 1/2 (4 + 4 - 0 + 0) =4`
`rArr sp^3` hybridization and tetrahedral structure.
