ketene with three-dimensional
« on: January 24, 2013, 12:42:39 PM »
Hello,

does any one can tell me how to draw the bonding in ketene with three-dimensional drwaing of the hybrized orbitals??

Please show your have attempted the question. This is a Forum Rule, you can google it or find it in most textbooks.

You might look up allenes as well, to which you should be able to draw an analogy for ketenes.

What geometry will the py and pz orbitals have?

And what is the geometry of those orbitals then? Set two points for the carbons, then have the orbitals protrude from the carbons with the same geometry you would expect from sp and sp2 hybridized orbitals.
