1.	Define hybridization ? Explain the hybridization in Methane molecule.
Answer» Solution :`CH_(4)`- METHANE MOLECULE. The Molecular fomula of Methane is `CH_(4)` Electronic configuration of C is ground state `1s^(2)2s^(2)2p^(2)` Electronic configuration of C in excited state -`1s^(2)2s^(1)2p^(3)` Valance orbital representation The VALENCE orbital contains unpaired electron. Hence `SP^(3)` hybridized carbon combine with 4 hydrogen atom forms methane molecule.
