How do you know the hybrid orbitals of a compound? For example, what are the hybrid orbitals of CH_2Cl_2CH2Cl2, C_2H_4C2H4, and C_2H_2C2H2?

The hybrid orbitals in
Explanation:
In each case, you must draw the Lewis structure, determine the VSEPR geometry, and then assign the corresponding hybridization.

There are four electron domains around the carbon atom, do the electron geometry is tetrahedral.
