Solution

The correct option is D In ionic form of Cl2O6, hybridisation of both the Cl atoms is sp3
In covalent form, Cl2O6 have a hybridisation of sp3 for each Cl atom since chlorine atom forms 4 sigma bonds


In ionic bond, Cl2O6 exists as ClO+2 and ClO4 since ClO+2 have a steric number of 3 so hybridisation is sp2 and ClO4 has a hybridisation of sp3
