How to determnine quantum numbers of hybridized orbitals?
For example:We have sp3 orbital,so its quantum numbers are n=1,l=0 and 1,m=0 and -1,0,1?Or how?Or they are in some way added up together?
Thanks

The sp3 hybrid orbitals are formed by taking mixtures of |s>, |px>, |py> and |pz>, right? So they are not eigenstates of ℓ and m, and you can't use these quantum numbers to label them.
 


But I think it generally.What kind of quantum numbers have molecular orbital?Atomic orbital has 4 quantum numbers and molecular has...?
