How does the energy level of a hybrid orbital compare with the energy levels of the orbitals it was formed from?

The energy levels of the hybrid orbitals are "intermediate" between the orbiats it was formed from. ( Essentially we are just mixing wave functions not changing their energy)
There is an energy pf promotion - taking for example one of the paired s electrons and promoting (exciting) one to become unpaired

so you may assume higher shells are also s shells
generally considered spherical

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.
Do higher energy levels have higher orbitals than lower energy levels?
Energy levels are formed into sublevels which contain specific numbers of orbitals, each of which can contain two electrons with opposite spins. The s sublevel has 1 orbital, the p sublevel has 3 orbitals, the d sublevel has 5 orbitals, and the f sublevel has 7 orbitals.
How is a molecular orbital formed?
In molecular orbital theory, MO theory, molecular orbitals are "built" from atomic orbitals. A common approach is to take a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO), specifically symmetry adapted linear combinations (SALC) using group theory. The formation of a bond is essentially down to the overlap of the orbitals, the orbitals being of similar energy and the atomic orbital wave functions having the correct symmetry.

Your student asked why the pi bonding orbitals are lower in energy than the sigma bonding orbitals.?
this is not a general rule. pi orbitals are always higher in energy than sigma orbitals due to side wise overlapping which is less effective than head on overlappig. however in atoms with atomic number less than 7 the sigma orbital due to overlapping of p orbitals is higher in energy than the pi orbitals formed due to sidewise overlapping of p orbitals

Is a bonding orbital a molecular orbital whose energy is higher than that of the atomic orbitals from which it is formed?
no, it's a molecular orbit that can be occupied by two electrons of a covalent bond(:

What meant by hybridization of atomic orbital?
Hybridization of atomic orbitals is the intermixing of atomic orbitals having a approximate energy to form equal number of hybrid orbitals having the same shape, size and energy but pointing in different directions. The new orbitals which are formed are "hybrids" of the originals and have properties that are somewhere in between. For example, a common hybridization is sp3 where three p orbitals combine with an s orbital to form four new orbitals. Other combinations (such as sp and sp2) are also possible.

What are the postulates of molecular orbit theory?
Molecular Orbital Theory (MOT):•Basic idea of MOT is that atomic orbitals of individual atoms combine toform molecular orbitals. Electrons in molecule are present in themolecular orbitals which are associated with several nuclei.•The molecular orbital formed by the addition of atomic orbitals is calledthe bonding molecular orbital (s ).•The molecular orbital formed by the subtraction of atomic orbital is calledanti-bonding molecular orbital (s*).•The sigma (s ) molecular orbitals are symmetrical around the bond-axiswhile pi (p ) molecular orbitals are not symmetrical.•Sequence of energy levels of molecular orbitals changes for diatomicmolecules like Li2, Be2, B2, C2, N2 is 1s < *1s < 2s< *2s < ( 2px = 2py)
What is orbital mixing?
The phenomenon of s-p mixing occurs when molecular orbitals of the same symmetry formed from the combination of 2s and 2p atomic orbitals are close enough in energy to further interact, which can lead to a change in the expected order of orbital energies.
Is an antibonding orbital a molecular orbital whose energy is lower than that of the atomic orbital from which it is formed?
