Solution of problem 267 of the collection on general ch

267. Indicate the type of hybridization of AO carbon in a carbon dioxide molecule: a) sp; B) sp2; C) sp3; D) there is no hybridization.

Because:
1) all the valence electrons of the carbon atom participate in the formation of bonds;
2) the carbon atom has two unpaired carbon in 2p orbitals;
3) the CO2 molecule has a linear structure.
