The hybridization state of the charged carbon in a carbocation is sp².
A carbocation is a molecule in which a carbon atom bears three bonds and a positive charge. Carbocations are unstable since the do not have eight electrons to satisfy the octet rule. In hybridization, number of line pair and number of bond pair is counted, thus for a carbocation the hybridization of carbon with positive charge would be sp²
