Which of the following is the correct statement for hybridization of C-atom and number of \(\sigma\) and \(\pi\) bonds in the Carbonyl group?

  1. A \(\text{Sp}^2, 3\sigma, 1\pi\)
  2. B \(\text{Sp}, 3\sigma, 1\pi\)
  3. C \(\text{Sp}^3, 3\sigma, 1\pi\)
  4. D \(\text{Sp}^3, 2\sigma, 2\pi\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\text{Sp}^2, 3\sigma, 1\pi\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Carbonyl carbon has 3 electron domains (1 double bond, 2 single bonds). Hybridization: \(\text{sp}^2\). \(\sigma\) bonds for carbonyl carbon: \(1\) (in \(\text{C=O}\)) + \(2\) (to R groups) = \(3\sigma\). \(\pi\) bonds for carbonyl carbon: \(1\) (in \(\text{C=O}\)) = \(1\pi\).
