ANSWER:

Solution 48P

Step 1: 

Here, we are asked to find out the hybridization of all the atoms (other than hydrogen)  in each of the species and the bond angle around the central atom.

Hybridization:

hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of mixing atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, etc., than the component atomic orbitals) suitable for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds in valence bond theory.
