The hybridization of the valence electrons on the nitrogen atom in NO+ is sp. The electron pair geometry is linear, and the shape of the ion is also linear.
The central oxygen atom in H3O+ has sp3 hybridization. This means that the oxygen atom in H3O+ forms four equivalent bonds with the three hydrogen atoms and the lone pair, resulting in a tetrahedral geometry.
The hybridization of XeO4 is sp3. This means that xenon is surrounded by four electron pairs, giving it a tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of approximately 109.5 degrees.
The geometry for a compound with dsp3 hybridization is called trigonal bipyramidal. It consists of five electron pairs arranged in a trigonal bipyramidal shape, with three equatorial bonds and two axial bonds.

VSEPR theory helps predict the molecular geometry of a molecule based on the arrangement of its electron pairs. Hybridization explains how atomic orbitals mix to form new hybrid orbitals, which influences the molecular shape predicted by VSEPR theory. In essence, hybridization determines the geometry of a molecule based on the VSEPR theory.
The hybridization of NiCl4 is sp3. Nickel (Ni) has 4 electron domains around it (1 for Ni and 3 for Cl atoms) which leads to the sp3 hybridization.
The hybridization state of Se in SeCl2 is sp^3 because it has two bonding pairs and two lone pairs around the selenium atom, leading to a tetrahedral electron geometry.
The hybridization state of Al in AlH4- is sp3, as it has four electron groups around the central aluminum atom. This leads to the formation of four sigma bonds, resulting in tetrahedral geometry.
Iodine trichloride (ICl3) has a trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry based on iodine's central atom. The hybridization of the central iodine atom is sp3d.
