What is the state of hybridisation of carbon in (a) $\mathrm{CO}_{3}{ }^{2-}(\mathrm{b})$ diamond (c) graphite?

Solution:

The condition of hybridization of carbon in:
(a) $C O_{3}^{2-}$
c in $\mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}$ is sp $^{2}$ hybridized and is attached to 3 oxygen iotas.
(b) Diamond
Every precious stone carbon is hybridized by sp 3 and is bound to 4 extra carbon iotas.
(c) Graphite
Every carbon iota in graphite is hybridized with sp 2 and is bound to 3 different molecules of carbon.
