Solution

Definition of hybridisation.

Hybridization is the process of intermixing of the orbitals of slightly different energies to redistribute their energies, which results in the formation of new set of orbitals of equivalent energies and shape.
Hybridization helps in deciding the structure of the molecules.

Total number of hybrid orbitals = No. of sigma bonds made by central atom + No. of lone pairs of electrons on central atom.

Molecules Bond pairs lone pairs Total no.of hybrid orbitals Hybridisation
SF4 4 5 4+1=5 sp3d
IF5 5 6 5+1=6 sp3d2
NO+2 2 2 2+0=2 sp
NH+4 4 0 4+0=4 sp3
