Hybridization predicts the geometry and bond angles in complex molecules and it helps in the understanding of how four equivalent bonds in methane (CH? ) can be formed from atoms like carbon. For observed molecular geometries, it explains the formation of the equivalent orbitals (like sp³, sp², sp).
