We're going over hybridization right now, like sp3 and stuff. But I don't understand how you got it at all.

Can you please tell me the hybridization for these two examples I made up and explain how you got it
thanks

1. NH3

2. PF5

NH3=sp3
PF5=sp3d

easy way is just draw the lewis structure and count the # of bonds and lone pairs. double and triple bonds count as one..
