Key Points: Structure of the Carbonyl Group

  • Carbon is sp² hybridised (trigonal planar, bond angle ≈ 120°).
  • C = O bond consists of one σ bond and one π bond.
  • Oxygen is more electronegative, so it pulls electron density towards itself →
    C gets a partial positive charge (δ⁺) and O gets a partial negative charge (δ⁻).
  • This makes the carbonyl group polar.
  • Hence, the carbon atom becomes electrophilic and is susceptible to nucleophilic attack.
