what is hybridisation?

Process of mixing atomic orbitals to form a set of equivalent orbitals is termed as hybridization. There are 3 types: sp3, sp2 and sp. 

The type of hybridization can be known by the number of pi bonds present in the atom:

if there is no pi bonds present - it is sp3 hybridized,

if 1 pi bond is present - it is sp2 hybridized and

if 2 pi bonds are present - it is sp hybridized.
