If the carbon is connected to four other atoms, its hybridisation is sp3 (easy to remember: number of atoms = sum of the superscripts; 1 for s and 3 for p; 1+3 = 4).
If the carbon is connected to three other atoms, its hybridisation is sp2 (easy to remember: number of atoms = sum of the superscripts; 1 for s and 2 for p; 1+2 = 3).
If the carbon is connected to two other atoms, its hybridisation is sp (easy to remember: number of atoms = sum of the superscripts; 1 for s and 1 for p; 1+1 = 2).
