Write oat the complete electron configuration for the carbon atom. . Consider the orbital view of bonding for the carbon atom. Choose a fill-in answer (from the drop down menu) for the following statements, The carbon atom has four valence electrons counted. The carbon atom has an (unhybridized) electron configuration that shows two 2s electrons and six 2p electrons. In a bonding situation, the carbon atom orbitals will hybridize by combining the Select orbital with the three (Select] orbitals to form V [Select) orbitals that are referred to as (Select) hybrid orbitals. What type of structure does the hybridization of the carbon orbitals produce in a compound like methane? tetrahedral The bond angle between the carbon and hydrogen atoms in methane is 109,5 degrees
