What is the request generated

If you meant where; browser generate HTTP request for us.

what is the process happened when we hit google.com on browser?

Browser uses TCP/IP protocol to connect to google.com's server(DNS routing happens here). When connection is made, browser send HTTP request(which is essentially a text) to server using the connection. Server then respond to browser using same connection and browser receives and interpret that.

I'll further explain TCP/IP and connections in my next post where I'll create a bare(not using high-end APIs like provided by node and frameworks like express) web server using TCP/IP.
