Textbook Question
Chapter 1.SE, Problem 47AP
Allene, H2C=C=CH2, is somewhat unusual in that it has two adjacent double bonds. Draw a picture showing the orbitals involved in the σ and π bonds of allene. Is the central carbon atom sp2- or sp-hybridized? What about the hybridization of the terminal carbons? What shape do you predict for allene?
