cl- is always sp3 hybridysed
What is the hybridisation of Cl in CH3Cl?
Is it sp3 or unhybridised and the C-Cl bond is formed between sp3 orbital of C and p orbital of Cl?

But whenever v draw the orbital overlap diagrams, lyke for BeCl2 , v draw the unhyb. p-orbital fr Cl, don't we ?
n what's written in NCERT (ClassXI,part-1,117) is this -
Each of the sp hybridised orbital overlaps with the 2p-orbital of chlorine axially & form two Be-Cl Sigma bonds.

hybridisation is a totally hypothetical concept....you are messing it up with the actual overlap of orbitals !!

But Debo, what will be ur one particular ans. fr Asish's Qn - sp3 or unhybridised ?
