CH4-
E.C OF C-1S2 2S2 2P2
E.C OF H-1S1
4H----------4X1S1
FILLING THE C AND 4H IN ONE MOLECULE-
E.C-1S2 2S2 2P5
AFTER PAIRING TAKES PLACE
HYBRISATION-1S2 2S2 2P3
-S2 P3 HYBRIDISATION OF CH4
H2S
DOING THE SAME FOR H2S
HYBRIDISATION-SP3 D2

The carbon is CH4, is sp3 hybridized. The Hydrogens can't be hybridized since they only have an s shell. The same goes for the hydrogens in H2S. The Sulfur in H2S is sp3 hybridized. To see the type of hybridization, look at the total number of electron pairs and bonds around the atom of interest. If those numbers total 1, then there is no hybridization. Total 2=sp hybridization. Total 3=sp2 hybridization. Total 4= sp3 hybridization. Total 5= dsp3 hybridization. Total 6 = d2sp3 hybridization. When counting bonds, only count a bond once even if it is a double or triple bond.
