The shape of butane-2 is?

1.linear
2.pyramidal
3.planar
4.tetrahedral

Answer:
I assume the 2 has no meaning..

So the shape of butane:
With respect to the molecule as a whole, it is linear.
With respect to the carbon atom, it is tetrahedral.
The second C atom of butane (I assume that's what you mean) is tetrahedral.
All of the carbons in butane are sp3 hybridized because they all have four single bonds, which makes them all tetrahedral.
