Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

a

Answer to Question 3

a

Answer to Question 4

The all five carbons are sp2 hybridized. The lone pair is in a p orbital and is part of the pi system, along with one electron in the p orbital on each of the other four carbon atoms for a total of six pi electrons.

Answer to Question 5

The oxygen is sp2 hybridized. One lone pair is in a p orbital and is part of the pi system, along with one electron in the p orbital on each of the four carbon atoms. The other lone pair of the oxygen is in an sp2 orbital, which is in the plane of the ring and not involved in the pi system.

Answer to Question 6

An aromatic molecule has an uninterrupted cycle of overlapping p orbitals (i.e., the cyclic structure should be planar) that contains 2n+2 (i.e., 2, 6, 8, ...) electrons
