Question

what is sp hybridisation ​

Answer 1

Answer

In sp hybridization, one s orbital and one p orbital hybridize to form two sp orbitals, each consisting of 50% s character and 50% p character. This type of hybridization is required whenever an atom is surrounded by two groups of electrons.

Answer 2

For an atom to be sp-hybridized it means that its s and p orbitals will combine and form new orbitals in order for the molecular geometry around this atom to be linear and the bond angle equals 180∘ .
