Answer:
The hybridization state of carbon in carbon dioxide is sp.
Explanation:
The hybridization state of carbon in carbon dioxide is sp. Two sp hybridized orbitals of carbon atom overlap with two p orbitals of oxygen atom to form 2 sigma bond while other two electrons of carbon are involved in pπ-pπ bonding with oxygen atom.
