Pls help Hybridisation of HClO is sp3 This means hybridisation of only Cl - Chemistry - Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Question

Pls help Hybridisation of HClO is sp3 This means hybridisation of
only Cl is sp3? What is hybd of H and O?To find sp3, in the formula
we put V=7 and M=1 which means we take V and M for Cl Then how do I
know that whose V and M should I take? THANKS

Always hybridisation is for the central atom Chlorine
Hybridisation = 12[ No of valence electron of the central atom + number of surrounding monovalent atom -cation + anion]      = 12[7 + 1 -0+0] =4      = sp3 Number of lone pair = Hybridisation number - Number of surrounding atom =4 -2 = 2Thus the hybridisation is sp3 and shape is angular or inverted V
 V is the valence electron of the central atom Cl and M is the number of monovalent atom
 Here H is monovalent atom and O is divalent atom
 So M= 1 as only one H atom is there

Pls help ..... Hybridisation of HClO is sp3. This means hybridisation of only Cl is sp3? What is hybd. of H and O?To find sp3, in the formula we put V=7 and M=1 which means we take V and M for Cl. Then how do I know that whose V and M should I take? THANKS
