Answer» sp2 hybridizedStructure of the CARBOXYL ACID groupThe CARBON and OXYGEN in the carbonyl are both sp2hybridized which give a carbonyl group a basic trigonal shape. The hydroxyl oxygen is also sp2hybridized which allows ONE of its lone pair electrons to conjugate with the pi system of the carbonyl group.HOPE IT HELPS YOU |
