(a)
Interpretation:The orbital that are used to form every bond with indicated atom in the given molecule needs be determined.
Concept Introduction:Hybridization involves the mixing of atomic orbitals to form same number of hybrid orbitals. These hybrid orbitals overlap with atomic orbital of other atoms to form covalent bond. These hybrid orbitals are of same energy and share therefore overlapeffectively to form covalent bond.
