Answer 1

We need to analyze to how many groups the central atom is bonded and lone pairs, with that number, we can predict is hybridization:

PO4^3- = sp³

ClO3^- = sp³

ClO4^- = sp³

NO2^- = sp²

NO3^- = sp²

CO2 = sp

SF4^2- = sp³d²

SO4^2- = sp³

SO3^2- = sp³

AsO4^3 = sp³

SnCl2 = sp²

CH4 = sp³

NH3 = sp³

H2O = sp³

PCl5 = sp³d

SF4 = sp³d

BrF3 = sp³d

XeF2 = sp³d

SF6 = sp³d²

IF5 = sp³d²

XeF4

BF3
