Answer 2

$\Large{\underline{\underline{\bf{Solution :}}}}$

The process of mixing atomic orbitals to form a set of new equivalent orbitals is termed as hybridisation. There are three types of hybridisation,

(i) sp³ hybridisation (involved in saturated organic compounds containing only single covalent bonds).

(ii) sp² hybridisation (involved in organic compounds having carbon atoms linked by double bonds).

(iii) sp hybridisation (involved in organic compounds having carbon atoms linked by a triple bonds).
