In chemistry, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.

You can find the hybridization of an atom by finding its steric number: The steric number = the number of atoms bonded to the atom + the number of lone pairs the atom has.
...

Start by drawing the Lewis structure. ...

Determine the number of electron domains on the central atom.

Determine the electron geometry using VSEPR.


sp hybridization occurs due to the mixing of one s and one p atomic orbital, sp2 hybridization is the mixing of one s and two p atomic orbitals and sp3 hybridization is the mixing of one s and three p atomic orbitals

In chemistry. The mixing of atomic orbital into new hybrid orbital which is suitable for the pairing of elections to form chemical bond.
types of hybridization :
sp: it is mixing of 1s and p orbital commonly we can say triple bond. example acetylene.
sp2: mixing of 1s and 2p orbital means double bond . for example ethylene.
sp3: mixing of 1s and 3p orbital means single bond example water.
