Answer #1

5)

There are 6 C-H sigma bonds.

There are 2 C-C sigma bonds.

There is 1 C-O sigma bond.

There is 1 C-O pi bond.

So,

Number of sigma bonds = 9

Number of pi bonds = 1

6)

O forms 1 double bonds. This is 1 electron domain.

O has 2 lone pairs not shown in picture. This is 2 electron domain.

So, total number of electron domain around O is 3

So, it is sp2 hybridised

Answer: sp2
