Compound in which carbons use only sp3 hybrid orbitals for bond formation is
Correct answer: A. CH3CH2CH3
- A. CH3CH2CH3
- B. CH3C≡CH
- C. CH3CH=CH2
- D. CH2=CH-CH=CH
Explanation
In option A all Carbon are linked together by sp3 hybrization hence that option is correct.

About Hybridization
Hybridization explains bonding by combining atomic orbitals to form equivalent hybrid orbitals with definite geometries. Coverage includes sp, sp², sp³, sp³d and sp³d² hybridization, their shapes and bond angles, and the relation of sigma and pi bonds to molecular structure.
