We should know that S orbitals hold electrons more tightly to nucleus than P orbitals . This implies that S orbitals are effectively more electronegative . Now, in sp2 carbon the character of each orbital has 1/3 or 33% of s orbital characteristics whereas in each sp3 orbital s character is 1/4 or 25% . So sp2 has more s character and therfore more electronegativity.

What is the bond angle between the oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide molecule?
Carbonate ion is in a trigonal planar shape (hint: sp2 hybridization)
What is the hybridization at each carbon atom in the molecule H8C6?
You will need to supply a structural formula for this question to be answered. Or you could simply count the number of other atoms bonded to each carbon: 4 means it's sp3, 3 is sp2, and 2 is sp.
Ethane a Alkene?
The carbon of the carbon-carbon double bond is sp2hybridized. Take CH3CH=CHCH3 as an example: the C of the double bond is sp2 hybridized, cause the C has 3 bond pairs (2 single bonds+1 double bond).The hybridization state of a carbon can be calculated by spn-1 ,where n is the no. of bond pair , and n is stand for a single bond or a double bond or a lone pair electrons.Take CH2=NH as an example: both the N and the C is sp2 hybridized cause for the N, it has one single bond, one double bond and a pair of lone pair electrons.
What is the bond type for nitrogen trifluoride?
Its a polar bond, for the electrons are more pulled towards the fluorines. It is a trigonal planar molecule. Sp2 hybridization. Hope this helped.
Can an ether contain a carbonyl group?
The carbons adjacent to the oxygen and the oxygen itself are less charged than the oxygen ad its attached carbon in a carbonyl group. The oxygen always carries a delta negative charge and the carbons a delta positive charge, but it is considerably lower in an ester than in a carbonyl. This is partly due to the double bond in the carbonyl making the bond electron dense and more polarisable.
Which carbon is more electronegative sp3 sp2 sp?
sp carbons are more electronegative. The larger the 's' character of the atom, the closer the electrons are held to the nucleus. sp3 carbons are the least electronegative as the 'p' character forces the electrons to exist further from the nucleus, decreasing electronegativity.
Is propanol more polar than acetone?
Ethanol is more polar than acetone because in acetone the carbon that the O is bonded to is sp2 hybridized where as the carbon that the O is bonded to in ethanol is sp3 hybridized. Since the sp2 carbon is more polar than the sp3 carbon, acetone has a lower dielectric constant. Hope this helps.

The carbon atoms are sp2 hybridised.
What is the hybridization of a carbon that is in the alkene and aromatic functional groups?
This carbon should be Sp2 hybridized.
