The question that I have is regarding the hybridization of the Carbon atom in the molecule Carbanion
[CH3]-
My question is
Why is the carbon atom in Carbanion hybridized to sp3 orbitals instead of sp2?
shouldn't it be sp2 since the carbon atom is only making 3 bonds with hydrogen?
please explain
any help is truly appreciated
