Because the ring is hollow
Vanillin is the common name for 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde.
See attached figure for the structure.
Vanillin have 3 functional groups:
1) aldehyde group: R-HC=O, in which the carbon is double bonded to oxygen
2) phenolic hydroxide group: R-OH, were the hydroxyl group is bounded to a carbon from the benzene ring
3) ether group: R-O-R, were hydrogen is bounded through sigma bonds to carbons
Now for the hybridization we have:
The carbon atoms involved in the benzene ring and the red carbon atom (from the aldehyde group) have a <u>sp²</u> hybridization because they are involved in double bonds.
The carbon atom from the methoxy group (R-O-CH₃) and the blue oxygen's have a <u>sp³</u> hybridization because they are involved only in single bonds.
<span>the answer is c. energy</span>
a. t=0.553 s
b. vox(horizontal speed) = 3.62 m/s
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
h = 1.5 m
x = 2 m
Required
a. time
b. vo=initial speed
Solution
Free fall motion
a. h = 1/2 gt²(vertical motion=h=voyt+1/2gt²⇒voy = 0)

t = √2h/g
t = √2.1.5/9.8
t=0.553 s
b. x=vox.t(horizontal motion)

vox=x/t
vox=2/0.553
vox=3.62 m/s
Answer: has properties similar to other elements in group 18, does not react readily with other elements, is part of the noble gas group
