hybridisation SnCl2=sp2‌-hybridisation ‌ In SnCl2, the central atom Sn has one of s - orbitals and 2 of p-orbitals hybridised, i.e. 3−sp2-hybridised orbitals arranged at an angle of 120∘, with one position occupied by lone pair of electrons. Hence, SnCl2 is bent or V-shaped molecule. Sn atom :5s25p2
