Which reactions involves a change in the electron - pair geometry ( i.e., hybridisation ) for the under lined geometry ?

Hybridisation helps us to understand the geometry of the molecules. This is because hybridised orbitals are directed in space in some preferred directions to have stable arrangement, which determine the geometry. The common hybridisation are sp (linear), sp^(2) (trigonal planar), sp^(3) (tetrahedral), sp^(3)d (trigona bipyramidal), sp^(3)d^(2) (octahedral) and sp^(3)d^(3) (pentagonal bipyramidal). The presence of lone pairs in addition to bond pairs distort the geometry because "lone pair "-" lone pair repulsion"gt" lone pair "-" bond repulsion" gt" bond pair" -"bond pair repulsion" .
