Orbital overlap model of \(\pi\) bonding in \(\text{C}_3\text{H}_4\)
Orbital overlap model of \(\pi\) bonding in \(\text{C}_3\text{H}_4\)
A model of the bonding and orbital overlap in propadiene (allene, \(\text{C}_3\text{H}_4\)) is shown above, where unhybridized \(p\)-orbitals are depicted forming \(\pi\) bonds between adjacent carbon atoms. The \(\text{C-C-C}\) bond angle is \(180^\circ\).

Based on the orbital representation, which of the following best describes the geometry and spatial arrangement of the hydrogen atoms in the molecule?
