Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 429
Question: Which of the following statements is correct in the context of the allene molecule, $ C_3H_4 $ -
Options:
A) The central carbon is sp hybridized
B) The terminal carbon atoms are $ sp^{2} $ hybridized
C) The planes containing the $ CH_2 $ groups are mutually perpendicular to permit the formations two separate $ \pi $ bonds
D) All are correct
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
- The planes containing the $CH_2$ groups are mutually perpendicular to permit the formation of two separate bonds
and The terminal carbon atoms are $ sp^{2} $ hybridized
and The central carbon is sp hybridized
