In which species can we describe the central atom as having sp2 hybridization?

A
${BeF}_{2}$
B
${CO}_{2}$
C
${KrF}_{2}$
D
${SO}_{2}$

Solution:

The type of hybridization that occurs in sulphur dioxide is ${sp}^{2}$ . This central atom becomes ${SO}_{2}$ when it bonds with two oxygen atoms, resulting in a structure with the formula O=S=O. Sulfur and the two oxygen atoms have one sigma bond and one pi bond created between them. One single pair can also fit inside the atom.
