Q.6 The atomic orbital of carbon atom and the hybridization of theorbitals (2)

The stable hydrogenation product of carbon is methane CH4, and the valency of carbon is not 2 but 4. At this time, the carbon atom should have electron arrangement of 1s22s12px12py12pz1. Which of (a) - (c) is the structure of the methane corresponding to such electron arrangement? Consider with reference to the figure below.

Hydrogen compound CH2
