4 hybrid orbitals would be formed.
What is hybrid orbitals?
A hybrid orbital is an orbital formed by the combination of two or more atomic orbitals. The resulting orbital has a different shape and energy than the component orbitals that form it. Hybridization is used to model molecular geometry and to explain atomic bonding.
Four sp3 hybrid orbitals are created when four atomic orbitals are combined to create hybrid orbitals.
The three 3p orbitals and the two 2s orbitals of carbon combine to generate four sp3 orbitals. Following an sp3-s orbital overlap, these orbitals join with four hydrogen atoms to form methane.
