The number of molecular orbitals in the system depends on the number of atomic orbitals that are combined. If two atomic orbitals combine, they form two molecular orbitals: a bonding orbital and an antibonding orbital. So, in general, the number of molecular orbitals in a system is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that are combined.
When two atomic orbitals interact, they produce two molecular orbitals.
There are no unhybridized p atomic orbitals present when a central atom exhibits tetrahedral geometry. In tetrahedral geometry, the central atom undergoes hybridization with the s and p orbitals to form four sp3 hybrid orbitals, leaving no unhybridized p orbitals.
The structure of caffeine consists of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms arranged in a specific pattern. It has a total of 3 lone pairs present in its molecular structure.
Beryllium has four orbitals in its electron configuration.
All p sublevels contain three orbitals, including the 4p sublevel.

Ethylene (C₂H₄) has a total of 6 molecular orbitals formed from the combination of 2 carbon atomic orbitals and 4 hydrogen atomic orbitals. These consist of 2 bonding molecular orbitals (σ and π) and their corresponding antibonding orbitals (σ* and π*), resulting in a total of 4 occupied molecular orbitals. The σ molecular orbitals include one from the C-C bond and two from the C-H bonds, while the π molecular orbital arises from the overlap of the p orbitals on the carbon atoms.
Hybridization comes from very complicated Quantum Mechanics and says that as many molecular orbitals that are being combound, the exact same number of hybrid orbitals are formed. Essentially, spherical s-orbitals and somewhat ellipcitcal p-orbitals are fused to make new orbitals that are identical. Example: 4 equivalent (tetragonal) sp3-orbitals in CH4 molecules.
