Expert Solution
Step 1

if:-

C has 4 sigma bonds -sp3 hybridisation

C has 3 sigma bonds - sp2 hybridisation 

C has 2 sigma bonds - sp hybridisation 

formula for determining hybridisation :- 

(V+M-C+A)/2

V = Valence electrons of central atom 

M = number  of monovalent atoms 

C = positive charge 

A = negative charge
