The four C-H bonds of methane are formed by overlap of _.
Correct answer: A. sp3-s
- A. sp3-s
- B. sp2-s2
- C. sp3-s2
- D. sp3-sp3
Explanation
Reason: Methane molecule is formed by the overlap of sp3 hybrid orbitals of carbon with 1s orbitals of four hydrogen atoms separately to form four sigma bonds.

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.
