The carbon atom has four valence electrons located in orbitals 2s and 2p. During the hybridization of sp³, hybridization of all three p-orbitals with one s-orbitals occurs to form four hybrid orbitals sp³. The orbitals point to the top of the regular tetrahedron, at the center of which lies the atomic nucleus of the carbon, the angle is 109°28´.
