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. Hybrid orbitals are very useful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding properties. Although sometimes taught together with the valence shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory, valence bond and hybridisation are in fact not related to the VSEPR model.

With each type of hybridisation, a particular shape is associated.
These shapes are obtained when perfect hybridisation occurs. But in most of molecules we do not find perfect hybridisation and hence, the shape of molecules deviate more or less from that given above. The exact shape can be determined by combination of hybridisation and VSEPR theory.
