SP3 Carbon

SP3 Carbon

sp3 Hybridisation
In the excited carbon atom its one s-orbital (2s) and three p-orbitals (2px , 2py, 2pz) intermix and reshuffle into four identical orbitals known as sporbitals. Thus, carbon atom undergoes  sp3 hybridisation.
The four electrons enter into the new four identical hybrid orbitals known as sp3 hybrid orbitals one each as per Hund’s rule. (because they are made from one ‘s-orbital’ and three ‘p-orbitals’ they are called sp3 orbitals).
