Question
For the labelled atoms choose the correct hybridization and geometry.

Transcribed Image Text:The image displays a molecular structure highlighting specific atoms within a compound:
- The structure includes a benzene ring with a side chain.
- At the end of this side chain, there is a positively charged amine group denoted as \( \text{NH}_3^+ \). This part of the molecule is labeled with the letter "A."
- Nearby, sharing the benzene's configuration, is a nitrogen atom with two lone pairs, labeled "N." This atom is labeled with the letter "B."
- Another part of the structure features an oxygen atom with two lone pairs, labeled "O." This atom is labeled with the letter "C."
These labels (A, B, and C) likely correspond to points of interest or functional groups being studied or referenced. The arrows indicate directions or relationships between different regions of the molecule, potentially for understanding interactions or pathways.
Expert Solution

Step 1: Definition of hybridization
Hybridization is an intermixing of atomic orbitals of an to for form new hybrid orbitals of same shape and same energy levels. The number of hybrid orbitals formed will always be equal to the number of atomic orbitals participated in hybridization.
Only orbitals of sigma bond and lone pairs are considered for the participation in hybridization and orbitals of π- bond are not participated in hybridization.
