Answer #1

In BCl3 boron is sp2 hybridized

In CS2 carbon is sp hybridized

In TeCl2 Te has 6 valence electrons, and 2 Chlorines are occupying 2 orbitals along with that 2 lonepair of electrons are present so the hybridization is sp3

In GeH4 Ge is sp3 hybridized. think it as CH4 as carbon and Germanium are on the same group
