How to Determine the Hybridisation State of an Atom

Step 1:

Add the number of atoms bonded to the atom(not based on single bond, double bond or
triple bond) under consideration and the number of lone pairs.

Step 2:

If the sum is four, the atom is sp3 hybridised.

If the sum is three, the atom is sp2 hybridised.
If the sum is two, the atom is sp hybridised.
