The methy hybridization carbon group can be described as an sp3 and the carbon hybridization process of the Nitrile group will be sp. Its molecular structure the sp3 the hybridization process is trihedral, and molecular geometry for the sp, it’s hybridization can be described as linear. So, the molecular structure around the carbon methyl is tetrahedral while the molecular geometry surrounding the carbon nitrile is linear.♦ Relevant knowledge
Before they overlap with the 1s orbital of hydrogen, the first atomic orbitals carbon undergo hybridization to create hybrid orbitals. Hybrid orbitals are formed by hydrogen bond formation. The type of hybridization a molecule undergoes will determine the geometry surrounding each carbon atom.
