Question

I have a question for the negatively charged C atoms attached below. Would you say its sp3 and sp4 or what would it be. It always the LP's counted as one and then the single or triple bonds as another groups. For this instance, it would be sp3 in the first structure, sp3 in the second structure, sp3 in the third structure. Or do you not count the single bond attached below the oxygen as part of it. Its a trick im using to determine ressonance.
