Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the hybridization of the oxygen atom in ethers, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Structure of Ethers Ethers have the general structure R-O-R', where R and R' are alkyl groups. The oxygen atom is bonded to two carbon atoms. ### Step 2: Count the Bond Pairs and Lone Pairs In the case of the oxygen atom in ethers: - The oxygen atom forms two sigma bonds with the two alkyl groups (R and R'). ...
