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.
