Carbonyl carbon in acetone is \(\mathrm{sp}^2\) hybridized. The C-O-C bond angle and the geometry of acetone is.......

  1. A \(\mathbf{1 2 0}^{\boldsymbol{\circ}}\); trigonal coplanar
  2. B \(180^{\circ}\); linear
  3. C \(109^{\circ} 28^{\prime}\); Tetrahedral
  4. D \(60^{\circ}\); trigonal planar
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathbf{1 2 0}^{\boldsymbol{\circ}}\); trigonal coplanar

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text{sp}^2\) hybridization leads to trigonal coplanar geometry with \(120^{\circ}\) bond angles. Therefore, the bond angle is \(\mathbf{120}^{\boldsymbol{\circ}}\) and the geometry is trigonal coplanar.
