Hybridization orbitals are determined by the numbers of electron groups present around an atom. Valence shell theory dictates that with 2 electron groups, the atom is sp hybridized. With 3 election groups, it is sp2, and with 4, it is sp3.
Since SF4 has 4 electron groups (each of the 4 single S-F bonds), the S atom is sp3 hybridized. In fact, each of the F atoms is also sp3 hybridized since each has 1 single S-F bond and 3 lone pairs (which each count as an electron group). Therefore, the F has 4 electron groups.
The S atom is the central atom for SF2. The hybridization of the S atom is sp hybridized. It has two orbitals 180 degrees apart.

There are 4 carbon atoms, which each individually act as a central atom since they are surrounded entirely by the hydrogen atoms. Each carbon forms 4 sigma bonds, therefore, each carbon atom has a hybridization state of sp^3.
The central B atom min BF4- is sp3 hybridised- BF4-is tetrahedral - B has s and p orbitals available for bonding.
The valence electrons of O is 6 and F is 7. 7x2= 14 + 6 =20 electrons in totalEach Fluorine makes a single bond with the oxygen atom. so that's 2 bonds right there.then fill up the fluorines so that they are satisfied. 16 electrons have now been used up. But the oxygen atom is still unsatisfied so you must give the oxygen atom 2 lone pairs. the total is now 20 electronsnow the hybridization of the oxygen atom which in this case is the central atom is determined by adding the total # of bonds together, it has 2 bonds with Fluorine and two lone pairs, add them up and u get 4 total bonds. 4 total bonds is = to sp^3
Xe belongs to the noble gas family so has 8 valence electrons...Xe => 5s25p6....... Two of these are bonded with fluorine. Thus it is left with 6 electronss i.e. 3 lone pairs.... So hybridization is sp3d ....the shape that should be =>Trigonal bipyramidal.... But it has 3 lone pairs on equatorial plane & 2 bond pairs on axial .....so final shape =>LINEAR...
The C atom of HCHO has 3 sigma bonds and a pi bonds. Hence the hybridization of C is sp2.

That would be Trigonal Pyramidal in shape and have an sp3 hybridization.
The central atom of ammonia is nitrogen and it has 3 bonding pairs and a lone pair around, hence it undergoes sp3 hybridization. The central atom of boron trifluoride is the boron atom, and around it has only three bonding pairs. So it hybridizes as sp2.
In icl3 central atom is iodine and its valency is 7 out of 7 electrons 3 electrons are in chemical bonding so 2 lone pairs are there. Hybridization = number of sigma bonds + number of lone pairs = 3 sigma bonds + 2 lone pairs = 5 = sp3d ( 1 s + 3 P + 1 d = 5 ).
The central B atom min BF4- is sp3 hybridised- BF4-is tetrahedral - B has s and p orbitals available for bonding.

I've just did the test about this and i choosed sp hybridization but some of my friends did sp3 hybridization and it's almost the same sp has px and py for lone pair and sp3 has 2 hybridorbital for lone pair too i don't know whic one is correct
