hey,

carbon when attached with 4 single bonds only - sp3 hybridization

carbon when attached with double bond-sp2

carbon with triple bond-sp

>C< …….s p p p=sp3

>C - …….s p p =sp2

=C=…….s p=sp

-Ctriple bond……s p=sp

count the number of atoms attached and lone pairs…as it CO has one lone pair and 1 triple bond to attach O, its hybridization is sp
