Question

The structure and hybridization of ${Si(CH_3)_4}$ is

• A. bent, sp
• B. trigonal, $sp^2$
• C. octahedral, $d^2sp^3$
• D. tetrahedral, $sp^3$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

tetrahedral, $sp^3$

Answer 2

In ${Si(CH_3)_4}$, Si and each C undergo $sp^3$- hybridization giving a tetrahedral structure.
