Hybridization of a Molecular Compound

Hard General Chemistry Chemical Bonding

In the context of chemical bonding and molecular structure, consider a molecule formed from carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with a molecular formula C3H8O. When this molecule undergoes a reaction with a strong acid, it can lead to the formation of a carbocation intermediate. Analyze the hybridization of the carbon atoms in the original molecule and determine which statement best describes the nature of the bonding in this compound.
