Hybridisation in Organic Compounds
(1) The method of mixing atomic orbitals to form a set of new equivalent orbitals is known as hybridisation. There are three kinds of hybridisation,
(i) sp3 hybridisation (included in saturated organic compounds containing only single covalent bonds),
(ii) sp2 hybridisation (included in organic compounds having carbon atoms linked by double bonds) and
(iii) sp hybridisation (included in organic compounds having carbon atoms linked by a triple bonds).
