Question

Would love some help on these. I got all of them right except for Carbon-B, Carbon-B is apparently not sp2 what other hybrid orbital could it be. Also tried sp2 and sp3 but is also incorrect and just sp3 is also incorrect.

Answer the questions about this structure (a) Which orbitals are used for bonding by (b) Determine the configuration of carbon atoms C and D (c) What is the geometric descriptor for the ring (Check all that apply) fusion at E? Carbon A Carbon B O cis O trans sp3 (d) Which type of carbon is at the positions A and D? CH3 OH N OH O primary O secondary O tertiary Oquaternary O primary O secondary O tertiary O quaternary NH2 OH OH O continued below (e) Identify the functional groups F, G, H, and I
