QUESTION

What is the hybridization of ##CH3^-##?

  • First you should draw lewis structure of ##CH_3^-##
  • Then to find hybridization of central atom/ hybridization of ##CH3^−##,
    • Count the electron regions around central atom
    • In ##CH_3^-## there are 04 electron regions .

(Note: Electron regions are pair of electron, a single bond, a double bond , a triple bond).

  • If there is
    • 04 electron regions it's ##sp^3##
    • 03 electron regions it's ##sp^2##
    • 02 electron regions it's ##sp##.

So In ##CH_3^-## there are 04 electron regions , therefore hybridization of it's ##sp^3##
