Which of the following statements regarding carbonyl group is not correct? The carbon atom of the carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones is sp^(2) hybridised, The carbon atom of the carbonyl group in the transition state formed during the addition reaction across it sp^(3) hybridised, An aryl group stabilizes an aldehyde more than the transition state, The aryl group in aromatic aldehydes speeds up the addition reaction across the carbonyl group

Aldehydes and ketones are amphoteric. Thus they can react both as acids and bases.
