See if this helps. Google sp hybridization and there are several sites to read.

What is the electron configuration for carbon with sp hybridization?
I have no idea. I know carbon has 4 electrons to use (6 electrons total, but 4 to move around for hybridization purposes), I know that the sp orbitals would take up two of the electrons, do the other two electrons go in unhybridized p orbitals? But what would be the written out electron configuration?
