Hybridisation affects bond length and strength. sp hybrid orbitals have more s character, leading to shorter and stronger bonds.
sp
Hybridisation with 25% s character
sp
Hybridisation with 33% s character
sp
Hybridisation with 50% s character
Hybridisation influences the bond length and bond enthalpy in compounds. The greater the s character, the greater the electronegativity.
