Final answer:

The two phases of hydrogen orbitals are positive and negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two phases of hydrogen orbitals are positive and negative. Each orbital has a positive phase for one lobe and a negative phase for the other lobe. These phases describe the wave function of the electron motion, not positive or negative charges.
