Question

Explain hybridization of central atom in :$CC{l}_4$

Answer 1

In the molecule $CC{l}_4$ the central atom C has 4 valence electrons where the C atom is forming 4 sigma bonds with Cl atoms and therefore the stearic number of C is 4 which imply that the hybridization of the molecule is $s{p}^3$ where the geometry and the shape is tetrahedral.
