Hybridization What is the hybridization of terminal fluorine atoms in BF3molecules like boron trifluoride?

What is the hybridisation of F$\ce{F}$ in BF3$\ce{BF3}$ or CH3F$\ce{CH3F}$ or PF5$\ce{PF5}$ or SF6$\ce{SF6}$? My book states that P orbitalthe p orbitals of Fluorinefluorine overlaps, but I feel that sp3sp3 hybridisation occurs in F$\ce{F}$, so it's sp3 hybridisationits sp3 hybrid orbital overlaps with the empty p orbital of boron.

In this answer Ron says that allAccording to Ron's answer, all atoms with p or d orbitals can hybridise : https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/a/14010/41400

Hybridization of fluorine in BF3

What is the hybridisation of F in BF3 or CH3F or PF5 or SF6? My book states that P orbital of Fluorine overlaps, but I feel that sp3 hybridisation occurs in F so it's sp3 hybridisation orbital overlaps.

What is the hybridization of terminal fluorine atoms in molecules like boron trifluoride?

What is the hybridisation of $\ce{F}$ in $\ce{BF3}$ or $\ce{CH3F}$ or $\ce{PF5}$ or $\ce{SF6}$? My book states that the p orbitals of fluorine overlaps, but I feel that sp3 hybridisation occurs in $\ce{F}$, so its sp3 hybrid orbital overlaps with the empty p orbital of boron.

According to Ron's answer, all atoms with p or d orbitals can hybridise.
