explain the hybridisation in c3h8.Draw shape of molecule
All the three carbon atoms are sp3 hybridised.
Carbon has electronic configuration 1s22s22p2
For carbon atoms 1 and 3 (end carbon atoms), three hybrid orbitals form a sigma bond with three s-orbital of H atom.
The fourth sp3 hybrid orbital forms a sigma bond with sp3 hybrid orbital of the middle carbon atom.
The carbon atom 2 or middle carbon atom, forms two sigma bond with two hydrogen atoms and two sigma bonds with the two adjacent carbon sp3 orbitals.
