Expert Solution
Step 1

Hybridisation = V+M-C+A/2  = x 

V= valence electrons of central atom 

M = number of monovalent atoms attached to the central atom 

C = cationic or positive charge 

A = anionic or negative charge

If ;                                        

x = 4.      sp3 hybridisation  - tetrahedral geometry

x = 3.      sp2 hybridisation - trigonal planar geometry

x = 2        sp hybridisation - linear geometry
