Hybridisation -

The process of mixing of atomic orbitals belonging to the same atoms of slightly different energies so that a redistribution of energy takes place between them  resulting in the formation of new set of orbital of equivalent energies and shape is called hybridisation.

- wherein

The new orbitals thus formed are called hybrid orbitals
