Question

what is the hybridization of furan..??​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Furan is the aromatic molecule. To maintain it's aromaticity oxygen lone pair gets involved in the resonance and delocalizes all over the ring. So the Oxygen atom formed 2 sigma and have one lone pair. So the hybridization is sp2.

Answer 2

Answer:

You can find the hybridization of an atom by finding its steric number: The steric number = the number of atoms bonded to the atom + the number of lone pairs the atom has. If the steric number is 4, the atom is sp3 hybridized. If the steric number is 3, the atom is sp2 hybridizedFuran is the aromatic molecule. To maintain it's aromaticity oxygen lone pair gets involved in the resonance and delocalizes all over the ring. So the Oxygen atom formed 2 sigma and have one lone pair. So the hybridization is sp2.
