What is the hybridization of carbon in methanol (CH₃OH)?

میتھانول میں کاربن کی ہائبرڈائزیشن کیا ہے؟

sp³

sp²

None of these

In methanol, the carbon atom forms four sigma bonds: three with hydrogen atoms and one with the hydroxyl group (-OH).

This requires $sp^3$ hybridization, where one s orbital and three p orbitals combine to form four equivalent orbitals.
