Carbonyl Dipole & Geometry

Carbonyl Dipole & Geometry

$$\text{Geometry} \longrightarrow sp^2 \text{ Hybridized Carbon, Planar Geometry } (\approx 120^\circ \text{ bond angles})$$

Notation:

• $$sp^2$$ = Hybridization state defining the planar framework;
• $$\approx 120^\circ$$ = Idealized bond angle around the carbonyl carbon.
