SP3 Hybridization

When sp³ orbitals form, how many sp³ orbitals are there?

Predict the approximate bond angle labeled 1 in the figure. (Just the approximate angle; You don't have to type the degree sign in your answer.)

Predict the approximate bond angle labeled 8 in the figure. (Just the approximate angle; You don't have to type the degree sign in your answer.)

Predict the orbital hybridization around the atom labeled 8 in the figure. (sp, sp2, or sp3 ?)

Predict the approximate bond angle labeled 4. (Don't worry about the degree symbol.)
