Magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) consists of magnesium ions (Mg²⁺) and sulfate ions (SO₄²⁻). In the sulfate ion, the sulfur atom is surrounded by four oxygen atoms and exhibits sp³ hybridization, forming a tetrahedral shape. However, since magnesium sulfate is an ionic compound, the concept of hybridization primarily applies to the sulfate ion rather than the entire compound. Thus, the relevant hybridization is that of the sulfate ion, which is sp³.
