Examples of sp2 Hybridization
- All the compounds of Boron i.e. BF3, BH3
- All the compounds of carbon containing a carbon-carbon double bond, Ethylene (C2H4)
sp3 Hybridization
When one ‘s’ orbital and 3 ‘p’ orbitals belonging to the same shell of an atom mix together to form four new equivalent orbital, the type of hybridization is called a tetrahedral hybridization or sp3. The new orbitals formed are called sp3 hybrid orbitals.
Example of sp3 hybridization: ethane (C2H6), methane
