Best Answer

Hybridisation is a mathematical technique in valence bond theory used "create" new (higher energy) orbitals from base atomic orbitals so that the new orbitals point along bond axes. Valence bond theory as its name suggests focuses on the localised electron pair. Other bonding theories such as molecular orbital theory do not hybridise the base atomic orbitals. Both theories have their merits.
