What's the hybridization of the C and O atoms in an amide linkage??

Both sp2?

i think its sp2...but they said "amido linkage" not amide linkage

So what's the answer?

The answer is sp2 for both. if it was asking about the N it would've been sp2 as well.

Amide and amido are the same functional groups. It's referred to as amido when it's a substituent..

Anyway it looks like we answered that correctly!
