No. of hybrid orbitals(H.O)=1/2(No. of valence electrons on central atom + no. of monovalent atoms-                                                                          Charge)

PO43- : no. of hybrid orbitals= 1/2(5+3)=4 --- sp3 hybridization

ICl4- : no. of hybrid orbitals= 1/2(7+4+1)=6 --- sp3d2 hybridization

SO3 : no. of hybrid orbitals= 1/2(6)=3 --- sp2 hybridization

NO3- : no. of hybrid orbitals= 1/2(5+1)=3 --- sp2 hybridization

SO42- : no. of hybrid orbitals= 1/2(6+2)=4 --- sp3 hybridization
