    The hybridisation of carbon in molecular\[C{{O}_{2}}\] is

    A)  \[sp\]              

    B)  \[s{{p}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[s{{p}^{3}}\]             

    D)  \[s{{p}^{3}}d\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     The hybridisation of C in\[C{{O}_{2}}\]molecule is sp. C= 2, 4 (At. number =6) \[X=\frac{1}{2}\][valence electrons of central atom\[+\]number of monovalent atoms\[-\]charge on cation + charge on anion] \[=\frac{1}{2}[4+0-0+0]=2\] if\[X=2,\]hybridisation is sp.
