CH 4 : The 2 s and 2 p orbitals thus undergo hybridisation to form 4 sp 3 hybridised orbitals. Methane is a perfect tetrahedron with all H - C - H bond angles equal at 109 . 5 ° . NH 3 : There is one lone pair of electrons and three bond pairs, the resulting molecular geometry is trigonal pyramidal. The bond angle in a molecule of ammonia is 107 ° . H 2 O : Water is consistent with a tetrahedral arrangement of two lone pairs and two bonding pairs of electrons. Thus, we say that the oxygen atom is sp 3 hybridised. The bond between O and 2 H atoms and so it will be a covalent bond. There are 2 O - H σ bonds, 2 lone pair . BF 3 : The geometry of the molecule of BF 3 is ‘Trigonal Planar. Boron and only three σ bonds are formed per Boron atom. C 2 H 4 : The molecular shape is predicted to be trigonal planar around each carbon atom. This is composed of a σ framework and a π -bond. In the ethene molecule, the carbon atoms are sp 2 hybridised. BeF 2 : In BeF 2 , Be atom is sp hybridised. The bond angle is 180 ° . C 2 H 2 : The carbon atom of the ethyne molecule is sp hybridised. The bond angle of sp hybridisation is 180 ° and hence it is a linear molecule.
