Question

Complete the Lewis structure of the compound shown below and indicate which of the following statements are true.

truefalse There are three lone pairs of electrons in the complete Lewis structure.

truefalse The C-N bond is formed from overlap of an sp2 hybrid orbital from the carbon atom with an sp3 hybrid orbital from the nitrogen atom.

truefalse There are four ? bonds in this molecule.

truefalse There are twelve ? bonds in this molecule.

The ? bond between C-2 and C-3 is formed by overlap of sp2 hybrid orbitals.

truefalse The C-2 and C-3 atoms cannot rotate about the internuclear axis between the two atoms since the ? bond would break.

truefalse An sp2 hybrid orbital on C-1 overlaps with an sp hybrid orbital on C-2 to form the sigma bond between C-1 and C-2.
