Explanation / Answer

34. Both the C-O bonds are resonance stabilized in the anion having both single and double character. But none of them is purely single or double bond and hence they are intermediate of double and single bonds. Hence both the C-O bonds are same and intermediate between 143 pm and 123 pm. Option (c).

35. That bond will be the most polar where the electronegativity difference between the two atoms is maximum. Option C is correct where electronegativity is maximum (1.8) when them form bond.

36. As the carbon atom in angle a is sp3 hybridized, hence the bond angle will be 1090 and the carbon atom in the angle b is sp2 hybridized, hence the angle will be 1200. Option B is the correct answer.
