What do you mean by hybridization

1.	What do you mean by hybridization
Answer» Hybridization 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 shapes. The new orbitals thus formed are known as hybrid orbitals.Hybridization of P in PCl5 : sp3d
