orbitals are 'hybridized' when some energy has been distributed to them so they are no longer distinct as atomic orbitals, distinct as separate 's' and 'p' orbitals but are 2 equal orbitals called 'sp' hybridized.

What kind of hybrid orbital is used in CO2?
sp hybridized orbial
What is the hybridization of C in CO?
C in carbon monoxide is sp hybridized.
Sp hybridized orbitals are what?
sp hybrid orbitals are literally a hybrid of the S and P orbitals. in P block atoms that have 4 distinct bonds or non bonding pairs of electrons the valence electrons organize into 4 sp hybrid orbitals that point out from the nucleus like the points of a tetrahedron.
Which type of hybridization state is expected on each of the carbon atoms in the molecule H-CC-H?
Assuming you mean acetylene, H-C triple bond C-H, then each of the C is sp hybridized.
How many atomic orbitals must be mixed to make the sp2 hybrid orbital?
five atomic orbitals must be mixed into one ; one s orbital; three p orbital; one d orbital, forming sp3d orbital

Is ch4 sp-hybridized compound?
No it is not sp hybridized is sp3 hybridized compound
What is the outer shell of carbon?
The valence shell of carbon is a linear combination of 2s and 2p^3 we typically call the sp^3 hybridized orbital or the sp^2 hybridized orbital depending on the number of sigma bonds to carbon four or three respectively. There is also sp linear hybridization otherwise known as the triple bond motif of carbon.
Is ch4 an sp-hybridized compound?
It is not sp hybridized.It is sp3 hybridized compound.
Hybridization of SiCl4?
sp^3
What is the hybridization of the carbon atom as it is contained in carbon dioxide?
sp hybridization
What is the hybridization of nitrogen in NF3?
The hybridization is sp3 because N is bonded to 3 hydrogen groups and contains two unpaired electrons. For these three bonds and unpaired electron the s orbital and three p orbitals hybridize forming __ __ __ __ sp3 hybridized orbitals.
What is hybridization of C in CO?
C in carbon monoxide is sp hybridized.
What is the hybridization of C in CO?
C in carbon monoxide is sp hybridized.
The hybridized orbitals responsible for the bent shape of the water molecule are?
sp^3
Why 2 carbon atoms cant form 4 bonds between them?
When carbon atom undergoes sp hybridization there will be two unchanged p orbitals (Px and Py considering z-axis as molecular axis) and two sp orbitals(hybridized orbitals).Mechanism of sp hybridization: The ground state carbon atom has 2 es in the 2s orbital and 2 es in the 2p orbital.On excitation the one of the 2s electron is transferred to an empty 2p orbital( say 2pz).Then the half filled 2s orbital and 2pz orbital undergo hybridization yo form to two equivalent sp orbitals(on the molecular axis).The will be a maximum of 3 bonds that 2 carbon atoms can make: It can be explained by the sp hybridization.When two sp hybridized carbon atoms combine through the z-axis as molecular axis then the unchanged p orbitals undergo lateral overlap forming 2 pi orbitals and one sp orbitals of each carbon atom overlap horizontally forming a sigma orbital.But the other sp orbital of carbon atom cannot overlap since the sp orbitals lie in the same molecular axis.This prevents the formation of the fourth bond.
What is the hybridization of each atom in propenoic acid?
All three of the carbons in propionic acid are sp2 hybridized. The number four oxygen is sp hybridized while the number five oxygen is sp2 hybridized.
