The total number of sp2 hybridised carbon atoms in the major product P (a non-heterocyclic compound) of the following reaction is ___.


All marked C–atoms are \(sp^2\) hybridised. There are 28 \(sp^2\) hybridised carbon atoms in the major product P.
So, the answer is 28.

Organic Chemistry is a subset of chemistry dealing with compounds of carbon. Therefore, we can say that Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds and is 200-225 years old. Carbon forms bond with itself to form long chains of hydrocarbons, e.g.CH4, methane and CH3-CH3 ethane. Carbon has the ability to form carbon-carbon bonds quite elaborately. Polymers like polyethylene is a linear chain where hundreds of CH2 are linked together.
