Explanation:
The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule, with two sigma bonds and two lone pairs of electrons like that in water. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.
The C atom is sp hybridised into two identical bonds and two identical bonds in acetylene.
The steric integer is therefore 2 because only sigma bonds are engaged in deciding hybridization, and its structure is linear.
The C atom is sp2 hybridised in ethene with single pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.
Thus the steric integer is 3, and its structure is planar trigonal.
The C atom is sp2 hybridized in ethene, with one pi bond and three sigma identical bonds.
The steric integer would therefore be 3 and its structure is planar trigonal.
The O atom is sp3 in a water molecule with two bond pairs and two lone pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.
The C atom is sp3 in a methane ring, with 4 bond pairs and no solitary pairs of electrons like that. The steric integer is thus 4, and its structure is tetrahedral.

Answer:
- <u><em>No, I would not consider a metal to be a plasma because plasma is just another state of matter, and the copper wire is in solid state.</em></u>
Explanation:
Metal is not a state of matter. Metals can be solid or liquid (molten) depending on their melting point and the temperature at which they are.
Plasma is a state of matter, similar to gas, but it is reached only at very high temperatures like in the Sun. The particles in plasma state are not neutral atoms or molecules but negatively charged ions and electrons.
The copper wire is yet a solid, thus it cannot be considered a plasma.
Metals can be in plasma state only if the temperature is too high, like the temperatures in the stars. In fact, the metals in the Sun and other hotter stars are in plasma state.
