Which of the following best describes the lone pairs on oxygen in the following aromatic molecule. The two lone pairs on oxygen are not shown in the picture below. O One lone pair on oxygen is in an sp² orbital and the other is an unhybridized p-orbital and participates in aromaticity. O Both lone pairs on oxygen are in an sp3 orbitals and can't participate in aromaticity. Both lone pairs on oxygen are in unhybridized p-orbitals and both participate in aromaticity. O The lone pairs of oxygen have nothing to do with this compound being aromatic.
