The hybridization of the bonding orbitals of carbon in carbon tetrachloride are sp3 hybridized. The hybridization occurs between the s orbital of the hydrogen atom and the px, py, pz orbitals of the carbon atom, hence it is sp3 hybridized.

What is the hybridization of the central nitrogen in N3-?
This is an odd question. Usually it is considered that the electrons transferred to an anion populate the lowest available orbitals, in the case of N3- these would be the 2p orbitals. In valence bond theory which is used to explain the bonding in covalent chemical compounds, atomic orbitals are hybridised so as to create new orbitals that point along bond axes.
What is the hybridization of the central atom of sulfur tetrafluoride?
sp3d is a typical answer - bit this assumes that d orbitals are sigificant in the bonding- you may be being taught differently.
How do you do hybridization of BF4?
The central B atom min BF4- is sp3 hybridised- BF4-is tetrahedral - B has s and p orbitals available for bonding.
What is the difference between bonding and anti bonding molecular orbital?
Electrons in a bonding orbital have lower energy levels than the average energy of a valence electrons in the isolated atoms between which the orbital is formed. Antibonding orbitals do not meet this criterion, so that anitbonding orbitals can be stable only in conjunction with bonding orbitals, whereas bonding orbitals can be formed without any accompanying antibonding orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is called bonding molecular orbitals.The molecular orbitals which is formed by the subtraction of atomic orbitals is called antibonding molecular orbitals.

What is the hybridization of the bonding orbitals in carborn tetrachloride?
As the CCl4 molecule has a regular tetrahedral shape the hybridisation is sp3
What do you mean by hybridisation?
Hybridization is a concept in chemistry where atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals during the formation of chemical bonds. This process helps explain the molecular geometry and bonding properties of molecules. Hybridization is a key principle in understanding the shapes and reactivity of molecules.

Can orbital hybridization theory can describe both the shape and bonding of the molecules?
Orbital hybridization provides information about both molecular bonding and molecular shape.
What is the state of hybridization for so3?
SO3 is a planar molecule with bond angles of 120 0 - the hybridisation of S is sp2 Note that a typical description of bonding involves 3 double bonds - this assumes that there is good overlap between d orbitals on the S atom and p orbitals on the O atom- calculation suggests that this pi bonding is at best very weak.
What is the difference between d2sp3 and sp3d2 hybrid orbitals?
Good question. A lot of people use them interchangeably, and assume they are the same. They are not the same. With sp3d2, the s, p and d orbitals which are hybridized all come from the same energy level, for instance, it has been taught that when sulfur combines with six fluorine atoms to make SF6 that the 3s, 3p and two 3d orbitals hybridize to make the sp3d2 hybrid orbital set. But d2sp3 is different. In this case the d-orbitals come from the n-1 energy level. Transition metals may exhibit d2sp3 hybridization where the d orbitals are from the 3d and the s and p orbitals are the 4s and 3d. The bottom line is this, in sp3d2 hybridization all of the orbitals have the same principal quantum number. In d2sp3, the principle quantum number of the d orbitals is one less than the principal quantum numbers of the s and p orbitals. We see d2sp3 hybridization in the transitions metals and sp3d2 hybridization in the nonmetals. There is one more issue. Chemists today are finding out that in compounds like SF6 there is no involvement of d-orbitals. In other words, there is no sp3d2 hybridization in SF6. A more likely explanation involves what is called "3-center, 4-electron" bonding in which three orbitals overlap axially (in a straight line) and contain a total of 4 electrons. This means that the 3 unhybridized p-orbitals of sulfur are all that is needed to make the six bonds with fluorine atoms. Now you can be the first in your class to point out that there really isn't any sp3d2 hybridization at all.
What does hybridization?
Hybridisation is a mathematical technique in valence bond theory used "create" new (higher energy) orbitals from base atomic orbitals so that the new orbitals point along bond axes. Valence bond theory as its name suggests focuses on the localised electron pair. Other bonding theories such as molecular orbital theory do not hybridise the base atomic orbitals. Both theories have their merits.
