QUESTION:

Nicotine is an addictive substance found in tobacco. Identify the hybridization state and geometry of each of the nitrogen atoms in nicotine: N Nicotine

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

Hybridization state and geometry of an atom depend on its steric number (the number of items attached to the atom) and the number of lone pairs. One N in the molecule that is part of a double bond has a steric number of three with one lone pair. This means that it is  hybridized and bent.
