Expert Solution
Step 1

In this given structure there are two doubly bonded carbon atoms and one carbon is totally single-bonded.

- To find :  a and b angle.

Solution : To find a and b angle first of all we have to find the hybridization of carbon atoms which are doubly 

bonded. Suppose to find "a" angle , we have to find the hybridization of carbon atom named as Ca.

 

Now Ca is bonded with 2 hydrogen atom with single bonds and with other carbon by double bond.

We know that in a single bond there is one sigma bond.

And in double bond there is one sigma and one pi.

- Total number of sigma bond = 2 ( bonded by single bond with 2 H atoms) + 1 ( 1 sigma bond in a double bond)

                                                  = 3
