sp2 hybridization is observed when one s and two p orbitals of the same shell of an atom mix to form 3 equivalent orbital. The new orbitals formed are called sp2 hybrid orbitals. 

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
