Answer 1

Only one molecule have sp2 hybridization on central atom and that is SO₂.

XeCl₂ have sp3d hybridization.

OCl₂ have sp3 hybridization.

HCN have sp hybridization.

Hybridization is defined as the concept of mixing two atomic orbitals to give rise to a new type of hybridized orbitals.

Hybridization intermixing usually results in the formation of hybrid orbitals having entirely different energies, shapes, etc.
