Answer:
The carbon is sp² hybridized and the unpaired electron occupies a 2p orbital.
Explanation:
The central C atom has a trigonal planar geometry, so it is sp² hybridized.
The sp² bonds are formed by the hybridization of the 2s orbital with two 2p orbitals.
The unpaired electron goes into the unhybridized 2p orbital.
