show me hybridisation of co2
Hybridisation is given by the formula:
H=1/2[ V + X - C + A]
where V= number of valence electrons in central atom, X=number of monovalent atoms around the central atom, C= +ve charge on cation and A= -ve charge on anion
For example in CO2, to find the hybridization of C:
V = 4, X = O, C = 0, A = 0
H = ½[6+0-0+0] = 2 = sp
