Question
### Analyzing Molecule A

#### 1. Indicate the following for each carbon atom in the molecule A:

**a) Number of Hydrogens on each Carbon:**

- **Carbon 1:** 3 hydrogens
- **Carbon 2:** 2 hydrogens
- **Carbon 3:** 1 hydrogen
- **Carbon 4:** 2 hydrogens
- **Carbon 5:** 1 hydrogen
- **Carbon 6:** 1 hydrogen

**b) Hybridization of each Carbon Atom:**

- **Carbon 1:** sp³
- **Carbon 2:** sp²
- **Carbon 3:** sp²
- **Carbon 4:** sp³
- **Carbon 5:** sp²
- **Carbon 6:** sp²

**c) Explanation of Instability:**

This molecule is not stable because it contains a high degree of ring strain and potentially reactive unsaturated bonds, leading to instability.
