As we learnt,

 

S - P Hybridisation -

When one S - and one P - orbital belonging to the same main shell of an atom are mixed together to form two new SP - orbitals.

- wherein

shapes

           Diagonal or Linear

 

 

sp2 Hybridisation -

When one s - and two p - orbitals of the same shell of an atom mix to form three new equivalent orbitals.The hybridised orbital is called sp2 orbital.

- wherein

Shape is Trigonal planar 

 

 

 

 

Hybridisation of C atoms in C3H4 :

 


Option 1)
