Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the molecules listed (CH4, NH3, H2O) have central atoms that are sp^3 hybridized. CH4 has a tetrahedral geometry with 4 single bonds, NH3 has a trigonal pyramidal geometry with 3 single bonds and 1 lone pair, and H2O has a bent geometry with 2 single bonds and 2 lone pairs, all of which are characteristic of sp^3 hybridization.
