The geometry around the carbon for sp3 hybridized atom is tetrahedral. The geometry around the carbon for sp2 hybridized atom is planar triangular. The geometry around the carbon for sp hybridized atom is linear.
Before overlapping with 1s orbital of hydrogen, first the atomic orbitals of carbon undergoes hybridization to form hybrid orbitals. The hybrid orbitals involve in bond formation with hydrogen. Hence, the geometry around each carbon atom in the molecule depends on the type of hybridization it undergoes.
