How we get to hybridization We know the geometry from experiment. We know the orbitals of the atom hybridizing atomic orbitals can explain

the geometry. So, if the geometry requires a tetrahedral

shape, it is sp3 hybridized. This includes bent and trigonal pyramidal

molecules because one or more of the sp3 lobes holds the lone pair(s).

sp3 geometry

109.5º

This leads to tetrahedral shape.

Every molecule with a total of 4 things coming off the central atom is sp3 hybridized.

Gives us trigonal pyramidal and bent linear shapes also.
