Question

Two compounds with the formula \(\mathrm{CH}_{3}-\mathrm{CH}=\mathrm{N}-\mathrm{CH}_{3}\) are known.

(a) Draw a Lewis structure for this molecule, and label the hybridization of each carbon and nitrogen atom.

(b) What two compounds have this formula?

(c) Explain why only one compound with the formula \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CNCH}_{3}\) is known.

Solution

Step 1 of 4

In valence bond theory, orbital hybridisation (or hybridization) is the concept of combining atomic orbitals into new hybrid orbitals (with different energies, shapes, and other properties than the component atomic orbitals) suited for electron pairing to create chemical bonds.
