In the formaldehyde molecule, H2CO, a double bond exists between the carbon and oxygen atoms. (a) What type of hybridization is involved? (b) The molecule is found to be planar; one bond between the C and O atoms is a σ bond, and the other is a π bond. With a simple sketch, show the atomic orbital overlap that is responsible for the π bond.
