Since the hybridization of the central atom is usually the only factor needed to determine molecular shape, you can simplify by considering only the hybridization of the central atom. Using this simplified method, the OO atom of CO2CO2 would bond with one of its p or s orbitals. Use valence bond theory to devise a hybridization and bonding scheme for CO2CO2.
