f24u7 said:Say that element carbon, with s, and p orbitals, does the orbital adds up to each other, meaning is 1s orbital inside the 2s and 2p orbitals?
poopcaboose said:Hybrid orbitals work only when bonds are made, they only require the s and p orbitals since the d orbitals are inside of both.
The sp3 hybrid orbital means there s orbital has combined with one of the p orbitals to create 3 sp orbitals and one p orbital. This makes way for three sigma bonds and a pi bond.

Orbitals are regions of space around an atomic nucleus where electrons are most likely to be found. They are described by quantum mechanics and have specific shapes and energies.
Orbits refer to the path of an electron around the nucleus in classical mechanics, while orbitals describe the probability of finding an electron in a particular location around the nucleus in quantum mechanics.
The shape of an orbital determines the probability of finding an electron in a particular region of space. This is important because it helps us understand the chemical properties and behavior of atoms.
Orbitals are labeled by their energy level (represented by the letters s, p, d, and f) and their sublevel (represented by numbers and letters). They are organized in order of increasing energy level and sublevel within each energy level.
Electrons fill orbitals in a specific order called the Aufbau principle, where they enter the lowest energy orbital available. This is followed by the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that each orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons with opposite spins. Lastly, Hund's rule states that electrons will fill orbitals of the same energy level with parallel spins before pairing up.
