What is the hybridization of central atom in F2O?

Answer 1

The valence electrons of O is 6 and F is 7. 7x2= 14 + 6 =20 electrons in total

Each 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 electrons

now 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

Answer 2

The oxygen atom in oxygen fluoride undergoes sp3 hybridization.
