Consider any one of the four identical hybrid orbitals in the 109.5o set.

a. What fraction of the clay in this hybrid orbital was originally red (came from the 2s orbital)?

b. What fraction of the clay in this hybrid orbital was originally green (came from a 2p orbital)?

c. Explain the name “s(1/4)–p(3/4) hybrid orbital” for each of the four orbitals.

d. In fact, each of the four hybrid orbitals in the 109.5o set is called an sp3-hybrid orbital. Explain the name “sp3-hybrid orbital.”
