All marked carbon atoms are \( sp^2 \) hybridized.
There are 28 \( sp^2 \) hybridized carbon atoms in the major product \( P \).
Therefore, the total number of \( sp^2 \) hybridized carbon atoms is: \[ \text{Answer} = 28 \]

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.
