Carbonyl carbon in acetone is $sp^2$ hybridized. The C-O-C bond angle and the geometry of acetone is........
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 120°; trigonal coplanar
In acetone (CH₃–CO–CH₃):
- The carbonyl carbon is sp² hybridized → three regions of electron density
- Geometry around carbonyl carbon → trigonal planar
- C–C=O bond angle ≈ 120°
