Discuss the hybridisation of carbon atom...

Discuss the hybridisation of carbon atoms in allene `(C_(3)H_(4))` and show the `pi`-orbital overlap.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Allene is `overset(1)CH_(2) =overset(2)C =overset(3)CH_(2) `Carbon atoms I and and 3 are in `sp^(2)`hyridised state while carbon 2 is in sp hybridised state Two unhybridised orbitals of carbon of carbon 2 overlap sidewise to form pi bonds basides it also forms a sigma bond with each of the carbon atoms using hybridised orbitals Two hybridised of each of carbon 1 and 2 form sigma bonds with hydrogen atoms
