In methane the central C atom is bonded to 4 H atoms forming 4 covalent bonds and adopts a tetrahedral geometry.

The valence electron configuration of C = 2s²2p²

H = 1s¹

In methane, one electron from the 2s orbital of C gets promoted to the 2p orbital creating 4 unpaired electrons. This mixing of the 2s-2p creates 4 sp3 hybrid orbitals each of which then bonds to the 1s orbital of H. Thus, in CH3, the C atom is sp3 hybridized.

This pattern of hybridization is also exhibited by CF2Cl2 in which the central C atom is spe3 hybridized and forms 4 covalent bonds: 2 C-F and 2 C-Cl

Ans: D) CF2Cl2

According to VSEPR theory, the molecule PF6- has how many regions of electron density around the central atom (how many electron
anygoal [31]

Answer : The electronic geometry and the molecular geometry of the molecule will be octahedral.

Explanation :

Formula used  :

\text{Number of electron pair}=\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

The given molecule is, PF_6^-

\text{Number of electrons}=\frac{1}{2}\times [5+6+1]=6

The number of electron pair are 6 that means the hybridization will be sp^3d^2 and the electronic geometry and the molecular geometry of the molecule will be octahedral.
