Detailed Solution

Hybridization is calculated using the following formula:

Hybridization=V+M-C+A2

V=valence electrons of central metal. M=monovalent atom, C is the cationic charge and A is the anionic charge.

For XeF42+=8+4-22=102=5(sp3d) For CH4=4+42=4 (sp3) For ClF4+=7+4-12=102=5(sp3d) For SF5+=6+5-12=102=5(sp3d) For BCl3=3+32=3 (sp2) For [XeF6]=8+62=7 (sp3d3) For IF2-=7+2+12=102=5(sp3d)
