The simplest hybrid orbital is sp hybridization. The angle between hybrid orbital is 180 degrees and this implies that in molecules having sp hybridization are linear.
Sp2 hybridization has two hybrid orbitals and the bond angles do vary depending on the number of lone pairs of electrons. Angles are mostly 120 degrees.
Sp3 hybridization is mostly tetrahedral in shape having an angle of 109.5 degrees and this may also change due to the presence of lone pairs.
