CH3° as well as CF3° free radicals both have hybridization sp2 and have trigonal planar shape and the one unpaired electron in one unhybridised p-orbital.
The bond angle is 120°
The bond angle is 120°

I think you are wrong..... CF3 is sp3 hybridized.... It's a JEE ADVANCE question..... Ok..... I just want to know the reason for that as at the same time CH3 is sp2 hybridized.... Please answer......
oh ok
Please answer... The reason for this?....
I'm very sorry but I don't know a proper reason
OK thanks.....
Very sorry

Answer:
the shape of CH_3 is planar
the shape of CF_3 is pyramidal unlike CH_3
Explanation:
Planer or Pyramidal is the shapes of alkyl free radical
from the evidence of spectroscopic procedure, the shape of CH_3 is planar hence it shows SP^2 hybridization with an unpaired electron.
Due to having 3 sigma bonds, Cf_3 also has the same hybridization as CH_3 that is SP^2. But the shape of CF_3 is pyramidal unlike CH_3
