Hi everyone here, we have a question telling us that the following diagram is a representation of the formation of hybrid orbital's by a carbon atom from its two S and two P orbital's, the formation of which type of hybrid or bills is represented by this diagram. So as we can see, we have our two S and two P. So we have three S. P, two orbital's and one unhygienic ized P orbital. So our answer here is s. p. two. Thank you for watching. Bye.
