LOL!!! Don't post wrong answer. Neither think too much in this question.
11normally Cl
3s2 3p5
[Ne] (||) (||)(||)(| )
now chlorine lacks one electron fulfill its octet..
now its forms one coordinate bond with one O atom
so Cl loses one electron and it has 6 valence electrons..instead of 7
now the hybridisation becomes
3s2 3p4
[Ne](||) (||)(| )(| )
Now we have 2 half filled orbitals
Now if we hybridize
→ sp3
[Ne] (||) (||)(| )(| )
So it becomes sp3 hybridisation
