The compound in which carbon uses only its sp3 - hybrid orbitals for bond formation is?
Correct answer: B. (CH3)3COH
- A. HCOOH
- B. (CH3)3COH
- C. NH2CONH2
- D. (CH3)3C - CHO
Explanation
This molecule contains one carbon atom that forms four single covalent bonds using its sp³ hybrid orbitals. Therefore, carbon in (CH3)3 COH uses only its sp³ hybrid orbitals for bond formation.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
