Question

Which hybrid orbitals would be formed if one s orbital and three p orbitals combined? sp sp2 sp3 sp4

Answer 1

sp3
it's just adding the number of s and p together
example of sp3 hybridization = CH4
with 1 s orbital of H and 3 p orbital of C

Answer 2

Answer: Four
`sp^3` hybridized orbitals will formed when one s-orbital and three p-orbitals combines.

Step-by-step explanation:

• When ever one s-orbital combines with three p-orbitals it gives four
  `sp^3` hybridized orbitals.
• In which there is 25% of s character and 75% of p character.
• The shape of the
  `sp^3` hybridized orbitals is Tetrahedral. As shown in image attached.
