How we can find hybridization state of carbon in organic compounds?
eg CH2=C=CH2(all 1st 2nd & 3rd carbons)?

For carbon, to determine the types of hybridisation formed, all you have to do is to determine the number of atoms or groups that are attached to the carbon atom.
If the number is:

a) 2 --------------------> sp
b) 3 --------------------> sp2
c) 4 --------------------> sp3

So, the first carbon ----------> 3 -----------> sp2
..... the second carbon -----> 2 -----------> sp
......the third carbon ------------3 ------------> sp2
