Q. Total number of covalent bonds in $C_{3}O_{2}$ is x and y is the number of sp-hybridised atom. Find the sum of x + y?

Solution:

$O=\underset{s p}{C}=\underset{s p}{C}=\underset{s p}{C}=O$

There are eight covalent bonds in $C_{3}O_{2,}$ so x = 8 and y = 3 as 3 C-atoms are sp-hybridised.

So x + y = 8 + 3 = 11.
