ANSWER:Key concepts
Hybridization
Hybridization of an atom is determined by counting the number of atoms bonded to it and lone pairs attached to the atom.
Hybrid orbital
An atomic orbital formed by the combination of two or more atomic orbitals.
A hybrid atomic orbital formed by the combination of one s atomic orbital and three p atomic orbitals. A
A hybrid atomic orbital formed by the combination of one s atomic orbital and two p atomic orbitals. A
A hybrid atomic orbital formed by the combination of one s atomic orbital and one p atomic orbitals. A sp hybrid orbital is attached to two regions of electron density.
Step 1 of 3
We need to describe the bonding in these molecules in terms of hybridization of C and N and the types of bonds between carbon and nitrogen. If there are any lone pairs, we need to describe what type of orbital contains these electrons.
