Using the `VSEPR` theory, identify the type of hybridization and draw the structure of `OF_(2)` What are the oxidation states of `O` and `F` ? .

Explanation

To solve the problem of identifying the hybridization and structure of \( OF_2 \) using VSEPR theory, as well as determining the oxidation states of oxygen and fluorine, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the number of valence electrons
- **Oxygen (O)** has 6 valence electrons.
- **Fluorine (F)** has 7 valence electrons, and since there are 2 fluorine atoms, we multiply by 2.

\[
\text{Total valence electrons} = 6 + (2 \times 7) = 6 + 14 = 20
