How many electron concentrations are present in an sp hybrid orbital?

Please explain your answer so I can fully understand it. Thank you so much!!

How many electron concentrations are present in an sp hybrid orbital?
A single orbital can hold at most 2 electrons. An sp hybrid is a combination of an s and a p orbital, each of which donating 2 electrons. So an sp hybrid orbital can hold 4.
