The CO 2 molecule is shown below: O oversetπ= C oversetπ= O The C atom in CO 2 possesses s p-hybridisation due to the presence of 2 π bonds. ( ∵ 2 π bonds)

Q. What is the hybridisation of $C$ -atom in $C O_{2}$ molecule?

$s p^{2}$

$s p$

$s p^{3}$

None of these

The $C O_{2}$ molecule is shown below :
$O = π C = π O$
The $C$ atom in $C O_{2}$ possesses $s p$ -hybridisation due to the presence of $2 π$ bonds. ( $∵ 2 π$ bonds)
