Q.

Passage :

In carbon atom one of the 2s electron goes to the 2p level. Then 2s and 2px, 2py, 2pz orbital’s of ‘C’ atom undergoes sp3  hybridization and produce four sp3 hybrid orbitals. These four sp3 hybrid orbital’s have One electron each.

The electronic configuration of H : 1s1 Question Image The 1s orbital of one ‘H’ atom and the one sp3 hybrid orbital of ‘C’ atom overlap to form Question Imagebond.
