Given information
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
has a total valence electrons.
Let us draw the lewis structure by distributing these electrons in this structure such that the octet is satisfied for all the atoms.
Each carbon atom forms a single bond with one chlorine atom,like that four bonds are formed.
Each carbon atom has four electron domains around it.Hence it has a tetrahedral structure.
And so the hybridization of Carbon atoms in this molecule is hybridization.
