Hybridization of CO2
Can someone confirm that this is the correct before and after electron configuration for CO2? Thank you!

Re: Hybridization of CO2
Just to add to your answer, the non-hybrid 2p orbitals also play a part in bonding in this molecule, forming the second (pi) bond between each oxygen and the carbon.
