In `CO_(2),CH_(4)` and `CH_(3)^(+)` the hybridisation of carbon atoms are

A

`sp^(2),sp^(3)` and `sp^(2)` respectively

B

`sp,sp^(3)` and `sp^(2)` respectively

C

`sp,sp^(3) and sp` respectively

D

`sp^(2),sp^(3) and sp` respectively

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
O=C=O is linear. So, the carbon atom is sp hybridised
