The hybridization of the central atom in SCl₂ is sp³.
Lewis structure is also known as Lewis dot structure which simply represent the valence electron of an atom.
Hybridization is defined as the mixing of two atomic orbitals belongs to same atom but having entirely different shapes , energies which produces a new hybridized orbitals.
Now first write the electronic configuration of central atom.
The central atom in SCl₂ is S (Sulphur).
Electronic configuration of S: [Ne] 3s² 3p⁴
One 3s and three 3p undergo hybridization to form sp³ orbitals. Here each atom forms bond with one sp³ hybrid orbital.
Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The hybridization of the central atom in SCl₂ is sp³.
