The orientation of hybrid orbitals is tetrahedral in

- In ${\mathrm{NH}}_3$ hybridization, the three hydrogen atoms will be based around the central atom of nitrogen. The shape is tetrahedral.
- In ${\mathrm{PCl}}_5$ the $5 {\mathrm{sp}}^3 \mathrm{d}$ orbitals of phosphorus overlap with the p orbitals of chlorine atoms. The shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
- In ${\mathrm{SCl}}_4$ the shape is trigonal bipyramidal.
- In ${\mathrm{XeF}}_4$, hybridization in Xenon is  ${\mathrm{sp}}^3{\mathrm{d}}^2$ and shape is Square Planer.
