Question

what is hybridization and briefly explain it

Answer 1

In chemistry , hybridisation (or hybridization ) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals suitable for the qualitative description of atomic bonding properties. Hybridised orbitals are very useful in the explanation of the shape of molecular orbitals for molecules . It is an integral part of valence bond theory . Although sometimes taught together with the valence shell electron-pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory , valence bond and hybridization are in fact not related to the VSEPR model. ...!!@@!! 

Answer 2

Hybridisation is defined as the mixing of the atomic orbitals belonging to the same atom but having slightly different energies so that a redistribution of energy takes place between them resulting in the formation of new orbitals of equal energies and identical shape.
