sp hybrid orbitals are literally a hybrid of the S and P orbitals. in P block atoms that have 4 distinct bonds or non bonding pairs of electrons the valence electrons organize into 4 sp hybrid orbitals that point out from the nucleus like the points of a tetrahedron.

Sp hybridized orbital are?
orbitals are 'hybridized' when some energy has been distributed to them so they are no longer distinct as atomic orbitals, distinct as separate 's' and 'p' orbitals but are 2 equal orbitals called 'sp' hybridized.
What is the hybridization of C in CO?
C in carbon monoxide is sp hybridized.
What kind of hybrid orbital is used in CO2?
sp hybridized orbial
What is the angle between adjacent sp orbitals?
There are three types of sp hybrid orbitals: sp...180 degrees sp2...120 degrees sp3...109 degrees
Which type of hybridization state is expected on each of the carbon atoms in the molecule H-CC-H?
Assuming you mean acetylene, H-C triple bond C-H, then each of the C is sp hybridized.

The hybridized orbitals responsible for the bent shape of the water molecule are?
sp^3
Is ch4 sp-hybridized compound?
No it is not sp hybridized is sp3 hybridized compound
Is ch4 an sp-hybridized compound?
It is not sp hybridized.It is sp3 hybridized compound.
What is the hybridization of nitrogen in NF3?
The hybridization is sp3 because N is bonded to 3 hydrogen groups and contains two unpaired electrons. For these three bonds and unpaired electron the s orbital and three p orbitals hybridize forming __ __ __ __ sp3 hybridized orbitals.
What is the molecular geometry or shape of chloroform CHCl3?
The molecular geometry is tetrahedral. The orbitals are sp^3 hybridized. The molecule is polar. The bond angles are 109.47 degrees.
Do hybridized orbitals exist in isolated atoms?
No.
What Orbitals are used to form the covalent bonds in butane?
sp3 hybridized orbitals.
Why 2 carbon atoms cant form 4 bonds between them?
When carbon atom undergoes sp hybridization there will be two unchanged p orbitals (Px and Py considering z-axis as molecular axis) and two sp orbitals(hybridized orbitals).Mechanism of sp hybridization: The ground state carbon atom has 2 es in the 2s orbital and 2 es in the 2p orbital.On excitation the one of the 2s electron is transferred to an empty 2p orbital( say 2pz).Then the half filled 2s orbital and 2pz orbital undergo hybridization yo form to two equivalent sp orbitals(on the molecular axis).The will be a maximum of 3 bonds that 2 carbon atoms can make: It can be explained by the sp hybridization.When two sp hybridized carbon atoms combine through the z-axis as molecular axis then the unchanged p orbitals undergo lateral overlap forming 2 pi orbitals and one sp orbitals of each carbon atom overlap horizontally forming a sigma orbital.But the other sp orbital of carbon atom cannot overlap since the sp orbitals lie in the same molecular axis.This prevents the formation of the fourth bond.
