The linear shape of \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) is due to
- A \(s p^3\)-hybridisation of carbon
- B \(s p\)-hybridisation of carbon
- C \(p \pi-d \pi\) bonding between carbon and oxygen
- D \(s p^2\)-hybridisation of carbon
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(s p\)-hybridisation of carbon
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The geometry of \(\mathrm{CO}_2\) is linear. As there are no non-bonding pairs, the spape is not even distorted or bent and remain a perfect \(180^{\circ}\) line. This is due to the overlapping of \(s\) and \(p\). Orbitals of both atoms to form \(s p\) hybrid and \(p \pi-p \pi\)…
