Question Detail
Question
Which of the following molecules exhibits sp³ hybridization?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Methane (CH₄) exhibits sp³ hybridization. The carbon atom in methane uses four sp³ hybrid orbitals to form four equivalent C-H bonds, resulting in a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109.5°.
Hint
Look for a molecule with tetrahedral geometry and four bonding regions.
