Carbon 1 is sp2 hybridized while Carbon 2 is sp3 hybridized.
Atoms that contain single bonds are sp3 hybridized while atoms that contain double bonds are sp2 hybridized.
The term hybridization as introduced by Linus Pauling is used to explain the idea of mixing atomic orbitals of appropriate energy to obtain hybrid orbitals that are suitable for chemical bonding.
Carbon atoms may be;
- sp3 hybridized (single bonds)
- sp2 hybridized (double bonds)
- sp hybridized (triple bonds)
In this case, carbon 1 is doubly bonded hence it is sp2 hybridized. Carbon 2 is singly bonded hence it is sp3 hybridized.
