Which of the following statements is true for carbonyl group?

  1. A Carbon atom is \(\mathrm{sp}^{3}\) hybridised
  2. B Carbon atom forms three sigma bonds
  3. C \(\mathrm{C}\) - \(\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}\) - bond angle is \(90^{\circ}\)
  4. D The carbonyl bond is weaker as compared to double bond in alkene
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Carbon atom forms three sigma bonds

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In carbonyl group- C atom is sp2 hybridised and forms three sigma bonds. The CCO bond angle is 120 degress and CO bond is stronger
than of alkene bacuse oxygen has higher electronegativity than carbon which results in partial ionic character in CO bond which makes it stronger.
