Given information

Hybridization and bonding scheme for

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

has a total of valence electrons.

Let us draw the lewis structure by distributing these ten electrons in this structure.

Each carbon atom forms a single bond with one hydrogen atom and carbon atom forms a triple bonds with the other carbon atom and thus complete its octet.

Each carbon atom has two electron domains around it.Hence it has a linear structure.

And so the hybridization of Carbon atoms in this molecule is  hybridization.
