    Q:

    		 Formaldehyde is considered the most simple carbonyl molecule, with a C=O bond and two hydrogen atoms bound to carbon. For the oxygen, which orbitals have become hybridized (by VSEPR theory) to be in such a bond with carbon?
    		 

    A

    		 one 2s and one 2p orbital

    B

    		 one 2s and two 2p orbitals

    C

    		 two 2s and two 2p orbitals

    D

    		 No orbitals are hybridized in the structure
