It is pure (elemental) Carbon (in crystallic tetraedical sp3-hybridisation)


Is CH4 organic?

It has carbon and hydrogen.So it a organic compound


Why it is necessory to assume sp3 hybridization in CH4?

In valence bond theory it is assumed the four electron pair bonds reside tetrahedrally about the carbon giving rise to the terahedral shape of the molecule. sp3 hybridisation is "necessary", it replaces the s , px, py and pz orbitals with four orbitals of identical energy (degenerate) with lobes pointing to corners of a tetrahedron- the 4 electrons are then promoted to these orbitals - the hybridisation energy.


What is the valency of carbon in CH4 C2H2 C2H6?

The Valency of carbon in any molecule is ALWAYS '4' . So in methane (CH4) it is '4' In H2C=CH2 is is still '4' In CH3-CH3 it is still '4'.
