HEY MATE
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.
---->Scientist Pauling introduced the revolutionary concept of hybridization in the year 1931. He described it as the redistribution of the energy of orbitals of individual atoms to give new orbitals of equivalent energy and named the process as hybridisation. In this process, the new orbitals come into existence and named as the hybrid orbitals.
----->Characteristics
1.Orbitals belonging to the same atom or ion having similar energies get hybridized. 

2.Number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the no. of orbitals taking part in hybridization.

3.The hybrid orbitals are always equivalent in energy and shape. 

4.The hybrid orbitals form more stable bond than the pure atom orbital.

5.The reason hybridization takes place is to produce equivalent orbitals which give maximum symmetry.

6.It is not known whether actually hybridization takes place or not. It is a concept which explains the known behaviour of molecules.

7.The hybrid orbitals are directed in space in same preferred direction to have some stable arrangement and giving suitable geometry to the molecule.

HYBRIDIZATION:--)

lt is the phenomenon of intermixing of atomic orbital which can re-distribute their energy and convert in similar energy hybrid orbitals .

Characteristics of hybridization :-)

#1. ln hybridization and atomic orbital of similar energy can participate

#2.Number of atomic orbitals is equals to number of hybrid orbitals.

#3.Energy and shape of each hybrid orbital will be same.

#4. Hybrid orbitals can form more strong bond than atomic orbital.

#5. Hybrid orbitals arrange in such a way that they have minimum repulsion and maximum stability. So they give different geometry for different molecules.
