Question

Does anyone understand Hybrid Orbitals?

Draw for yourself the energy-level diagram showing the hybrid orbitals formed in the C atom when it bonds. [ Done ]
Now look at those hybrid orbitals and those of the N atom, and describe how the bonding with a N atom will differ with the bonding that occurs with a C atom, even though both atoms have four hybrid orbitals oriented in a tetrahedral shape

Answer 1

N has a lone pair... the lone pair-bond pair repulsion is greater than the bond pair-bond pair repulsion so the tetrahedral geometry of N will be distorted

Answer 2

I already got it thanks

Answer 3

ok cool
