Question
What is the geometry of a molecule with sp³ hybridized central atom?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
sp³ hybridization results in tetrahedral geometry. The four sp³ hybrid orbitals are directed toward the corners of a tetrahedron, with bond angles of approximately 109.5°. Methane (CH₄) is a classic example.
Hint
Four bonding regions around a central atom typically give tetrahedral geometry.
