Question

A nitrogen atom can undergo sp2 hybridization when it becomes part of a carbon–nitrogen double bond, as in H2C=NH.

(a) Using a sketch, show the electron configuration of sp2 hybridized nitrogen just before the overlapping occurs to make this double bond.

(b) Using sketches (and the analogy to the double bond in C2H4), describe the two bonds of the carbon– nitrogen double bond.

Answer 1

a valance shell electronie Configuration of a atom = 114 [7/1117 225 2p N undergo sp2 hybridisation by mixing one S and two porbitals. So the electron Configuration of sp2 hybridised N alom befor it undergo overlapping Spa 20 be here the carbon atom is also sp2 hybridised and electrome Configuration of sp2 hybridised l'atom a 111117 1 SP2 20 In the CH=NH Compound, double bond between N and e' is formed. In this c'and N double bond Clee. "C=N") One bond is "bond and one bond is "T" bond. Ő bond is formed between one Sp2 hybridised Natom& orbital and one sp2 hybridae

e atom orbital be. den-Spa Nop2 The T bond is formed between unhybridised 28 orbital of N and unhybridised 28 orbital of te doe. Then = Cap Nap.
