The hybridization of the central carbon compound CH4 tetrahedral is
SP^3 hybridization

In tetrahedral molecular geometry a central atom is located at the center with 4 substituent that are located at the corners of tetrahedron. Example in methane molecules is made up of b equally spaced sp^3 hybrid orbital forming bond angle of 109.5
