The carbon atom uses the 2s and the 2p orbitals for bonding. Since carbon is a tetravalent atom, one would expect there to be two kinds of carbon-hydrogen bonds. However, the fact is, all four carbon-hydrogen bonds are identical. Why is this possible?

a) the one s and three p orbitals can combine to form four equivalent atomic orbitals

b) the one s and three p orbitals can hybridize forming a tetrahedral orientation
c) the one s and three p orbitals can form sp3 hybrid orbitals

d) a and b only

e) All of the above
