Question

explain the hybridization of carbon in C2O4 2-?

Answer 1

HEYA!!!


HERE IS YOUR ANSWER,


The hybridization of "carbon" in C₂O₄²⁻ is :

→ sp²

SINCE,

→ Single bond to the other carbon,

→  Single bond to one of the oxygen,

→ Double bond to the other oxygen.


HOPE IT HELPS YOU,
THANK YOU.

Answer 2

$sp^2$

single bond to the other carbon, single bond to one of the oxygens and double bond to the other.

• $sp^2$  hybridization is observed when one s and two p orbitals of the same shell of an atom mix to form 3 equivalent orbitals.

• The new orbitals formed are called $sp^2$ hybrid orbitals.  hybridization is observed when one s and two p orbitals of the same shell of an atom mix to form 3 equivalent orbitals.
