Where to place Columnspan Row

I'm not sure where to stick the columnspan row and if I even wrote it right.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>HTML Tables Challenge</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>HTML Tables Challenge</h1>

    <!-- Write your code below -->
<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th> Hi </th>
      <th> Why </th>
      <tbody> 
        <tr>
          <td> Hi </td>
        <tr>
        <tr colspan="2"> </tr>
      </tbody>
    </tr>
  </thead>
</table>

  </body>
</html>

The colspan attribute can only apply to table cell data (<td>).

<tr>
    <td colspan="2"></td>
</tr>

Also, just FYI you accidentally didn't close your first <tr> set.

<tr>
    <td> Hi </td>
<tr> /* need to change to </tr> */
