Question

When three atomic orbitals are mixed to form hybrid orbitals, how many hybrid orbitals are formed?

Answer 1

Answer:

The valence orbitals of an atom surrounded by a tetrahedral arrangement of bounding pairs and long pairs consist of a set of four sp ³ hybrid orbitals.The hybridls result from the mixing of one s orbital and all three porbitals that produces four identical sp ³hybrid orbital
