These three orbitals can hybridize to become three orbitals. Consequently, we have one s orbital and two p orbitals left over. Thus, one out of the three p orbitals from the carbon will be used towards contributing to the pi bond with the oxygen. In order to have a pi bond, there must be p orbital overlap. Thus, in total, this carbon atom will have three sigma bonds and one pi bond. Each of the two single bonds that carbon has to the other atoms will also be sigma bonds, because these are both single bonds.

Let's also recall that a double bond consists of one sigma bond and one pi bond. In addition, the carbon also has a single bond to each of two other atoms, neither of which are hydrogen. For this question, we're asked to identify which kind of hydridization, if any, a carbonyl carbon of a ketone group will have.įirst, let's recall that a ketone group is a functional group in which a carbon atom contains a double bond to an oxygen atom.
