The linear shape of `CO_(2)` is due to ……….A. `sp^(3)` hybridisation of carbonB. sp hybridisation of carbonC. `p pi - p pi` bonding between carbon and oxygenD. `sp^(2)` hybridisation of carbon |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - B::C Sigma bond formed by s-s overlap, s-p overlap and p-p overlapping, pi `(pi)` bond formed by p-p overlapping. The structure of `CO_(2)` is `{:(p-p(pi),p-p(pi)),(O=C,=O),(sp-p(sigma),sp-p(sigma)):}` is 2 sigma bonds and 2 pi bonds Hybridisation of `CO_(2)` is sp and the shape is linear. Due to pi bond, it is `p pi - p pi` bonding between carbon and oxygen. |
