Pls answer with a little explaination
Dear student,
45)a)
Carbon-2 is having one double bond with oxygen and two single bonds with carbon, hence all 4 valence electrons of carbon are involved in the bond pair, so there are zero lone pairs. Hence, the hybridization of C-2 is sp2.
Carbon- 5 forms two single bonds with other carbon atoms and two single bonds with the hydrogen atoms, hence there are 4 bond pairs, and the hybridization of C-5 is sp3.
For the remaining queries, we request you to post them in separate threads to have rapid assistance from our experts.
Regards
