@ anubhav 
the hybridisation in chlorate is sp3 . clo ^ 3- have 3 bond pairs and 1 loan pair ifu can calculate acc to the VSEPR theory .
it is of the type AB3E . 
it has trigonal pyramidal structure , 
while calculating the hybridisation of free radicals , just check its type acc to vsepr theory then draw structure and calculate bond pair and loan pair . 
HOPE IT CLEARS YOUR DOUBT 
ALL THE BEST ..

sir, what is the hybridisation of cl03 free radical and not clo3-.... ch3 has sp2 hybridisation bt cf3 has sp3 hybridisation.. jst like this i want to knw if there’s any kind of exception in this case too..............

If  the central atom is more electro negative than the bonded atom than the free radical is not counted in hybridization..
And if bonded atom is more electronegative than central atom than the free radical will be count..
 Like in ch3 and cf3
