CH2=C=O why is 2nd carbon atom sp hybridized?
h
..\
...c=c=o

h
c=c=o structure linear. there 2 sigma (σ) bonds on central carbon 180 degrees apart, , 2 pi (π) bonds, 1 c , other o. together, σ bond , π bond make double bond.
hybridization way of explaining geometry of molecule.
hybridization - e-pair geom - angles
sp - linear - 180 degrees
sp2 - trigonal planar - 120 degrees
sp3 - tetrahedral - 109.5 degrees
explain in detail........
