The mixing of one s and one p- orbital resulting in the formation of two equivalent sp- hybrid orbitals. Which of the following orbitals are used for sp- hybridization by convention.

sp - hybridisation involves the mixing of one s and one p-orbital resulting in the formation of two equivalent, sp-hybrid orbitals. The suitable orbitals for sp-hybridisation are s and pz, if the hybrid orbitals are to lie along the z-axis
