Methane (CH4) is a simple organic molecule where one carbon atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms. Understanding hybridization in methane helps in predicting its chemical behavior, reactivity, and its role in larger organic molecules where carbon might form different types of bonds through different hybridizations (like sp² in ethene or sp in ethyne). Here’s … Read more
Boron trifluoride (BF₃) has a trigonal planar molecular geometry. Boron trifluoride consists of a boron atom single-bonded to three evenly spaced fluorine atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement. All three of its bonds are sigma bonds (overlapping orbitals of the two participating atoms). Here’s how to draw its Lewis structure: Since all formal charges are zero, … Read more
