Interpretation:
To predict the hybridization and geometry around each indicated atom.
Concept introduction:
Molecular geometry is the three dimensional shape that a molecule in space. It is determine by considering the central atom and the surrounding atom and electron pairs. The shape of the molecule is determined by using Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion method. Some of the most common shapes that can be determined by this method are linear, tetrahedral, trigonal planar and pyramidal.
For example.,
Linear (angle = 180o)
Trigonal planar (angle = 120o)
Tetrahedral (angle = 109.5o)

Explanation of Solution
For the hybridization, count the number of groups present around each atom. For example 4 groups = sp3, 3 groups = sp2, 2 groups = sp. And for the geometry count the surrounding atoms and lone pairs.
