What is The Structure and Hybridisation of CH3-

Answer: A normal tetrahedron has four points that are 109.5° apart, and the hybridization of one’s orbital with three p orbitals results in four hybrid orbitals that are orientated in that direction. Planar CH₃ (methyl free radical) possesses a sp² hybridization of the C atom, resulting in its planar structure.

•   A 2p^z orbital with an unhybridized electron is present

•  In addition, (methyl carbonium ion) is also planar (sp²).

• The lone pair of electrons is located in one of the hybrid orbitals of the (methyl carbanion) tetrahedral structure (sp³).

The carbanion has three paired bonds and one lone pair. There are four sides to a tetrahedral planter, according to VSEPR theory.
