Hello Aspirant,

I hope you are doing well.

sp ³ bonds would be formed when three hydrogen atoms are bonded to each carbon. In this case the 2 s and all three of the 2 p orbitals combine or hybridize to form four sp ³ bonds that point towards the corners of a tetrahedron with each carbon atom at the center.

One s and one p orbital combine to generate Sp hybrid orbitals. As a result, there are two huge energy lobes of similar size and form. In a linear construction, each lobe points in the same direction. The lobes are at an angle of 180 degrees.

I hope this helps.

Good Luck
