Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Limonene is an oil from oranges and lemons. Its structure has been shown in the image attached to this answer.

There are two different groups of carbon atoms in limonene. One group of carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized while the other group are sp3 hybridized. The group of carbon atoms that are sp2 hybridized have a trigonal planar geometry and have been accurately labeled in the image attached while the carbon atoms that are sp3 hybridized were also labelled and have a tetrahedral geometry.

Hence in limonene, there are trigonal planar and tetrahedral carbon atoms.
