What is the hybridization of the carbon atom in carbon dioxide?????????????
what is the hybridization of the carbon atom in carbon dioxide??? how is it worked out??
Answer:
There are two carbon oxygen pi bonds in carbon dioxide. These must come from seperate (unhybridized) p orbitals.
The remaining p orbital hybridizes with the s orbital to form an sp hybrid. This sp hybrid has two lobes which form sigma bonds to the oxygen molecules on either side of the molecule.
The remaining pi bonds to the oxygens are formed by overlap of the unhybridized p orbitals of the carbons with p orbitals of the oxygens.
The carbon is sp hybridized. (the other guy is wrong)
Its a double bonded carbon atom so its sp2 hybridized
sp2 hybridized because it is linear, 2 sigma bonds and no pi bonds
