carbon in carbon dioxide is

A

`sp^(2)`- hybridised

B

`sp^(3)` d - hybridised

C

sp- hybridised

D

`sp^(3)` - hybridised

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`C_("excited state")= 2s^(1) 2p_(x)^(1)p_(y)^(1) p_(z)^(1)`
`O_("ground state") = 2s^(2) 2p_(x)^(2) p_(y)^(1)p_(z)^(1)`
In the formation of `CO_(2)` molecule , hybridization of orbitals of carbon occurs only to a limited extent involving only one s and p orbital and givens rise to sp hybridization.
