Explanation:

sp hybridization occurs due to the mixing of one s and one p atomic orbital, sp2 hybridization is the mixing of one s and two p atomic orbitals and sp3 hybridization is the mixing of one s and three p atomic orbitals.....

The sp2 hybridization is the mixing of one s and two p atomic orbitals, which involves the promotion of one electron in the s orbital to one of the 2p atomic orbitals. ... The new set of formed hybrid orbitals creates trigonal structures, creating a molecular geometry of 120 degrees.

All the carbon atoms in an alkane are sp3 hybridized with tetrahedral geometry. The carbons in alkenes and other atoms with a double bond are often sp2 hybridized and have trigonal planar geometry. The triple bond, on the other hand, is characteristic for alkynes where the carbon atoms are sp-hybridized.

don't be confused in this topic okay its very easy only understand it properly....All the best

Answer:

(a) sp2

Explanation:

Ether has a general formula of R'COR

so here the oxygen has 2 lone pair and one double bond...

So the total number of hybrid orbital would be 3 and hybridisation would be sp2.

Thanks.

Hope it helps you.
