Inspite of the electronic configuration, 1s22s22p2, carbon is tetraavalent because?
the electrons in both 2s and 2p orbitals have equal energy
the electrons in both 2s and 2p orbitals are equivalent
both the 2s and 2p orbitals hybridizes
the six orbitals hybridize to four
Explicación
both the 2s and 2p orbitals hydrodizes
