Expert Solution
Step 1

formula for determining the hybridization:-

x= (V+M-C+A)/2 

V = valence electrons of central atom 

M = number of monovalent atoms 

C = cationic charge 

A = anionic charge 

If x = 4    hybridisation is sp3 

    x = 3   hybrisation is sp2 

    x = 2   hybridisation is sp
