1e) Explain the formation of methane molecule on thebasis of hybridisation. |
|
Answer» The bonds in amethane(CH4)moleculeareformedby four separate but equivalent orbitals; a single 2s and three 2p orbitals of the carbon hybridize into four sp3orbitals. In the ammoniamolecule(NH3), 2s and 2p orbitals create four sp3hybrid orbitals, one of which is occupied by a lone pair of electrons. |
