Question

The Hybridization of carbon in carbon sub oxide is

Moderate

A

sp
B

sp²
C

sp³
D

dsp²

Solution

Each carbon atom in carbon suboxide (C3O2) is sp - hybridized. If carbon is bonded with a double bond from both sides, then the carbon is said to have undergone sp hybridization.

The structure is O=C=C=C=O.
sp sp sp
all bonds are single or sigma, the hybridization is sp3
all bonds are single and one pie or positive, the hybridization is sp²
all bonds are single and two pie , the hybridization is sp
