For a carbon atom
sp3 - 0 pi bonds - 4 sigma bonds
e.g - CH3-CH3
shape - tetrahedral geometry (around 1 carbon atom)
sp2 - 1 pi bond - 3 sigma bonds
e.g - CH2=CH2
shape - Trigonal planar (around 1 carbon atom)
sp - 2 pi bonds - 2 sigma bonds
e.g - HC=_CH
shape - linear geometry (around 1 carbon atom)
How many pi bonds is a carbon capable of making if its hybridization is sp?
Carbon can make 2 pi bonds at most if its hybridization is sp. This is true in ethyne, a CH triple bonded to a CH.
