Question

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

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

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

true false  There are four n bonds in this molecule.

true false  An sp2 hybrid orbital on C-1 overlaps with an sp3 hybrid orbital on C-2 to form the sigma bond between C-1 and C-2.

true false  The n bond between C-3 and O is formed by overlap of unhybridized p atomic orbitals.

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

true false  There are eleven o bonds in this molecule.

Explanation / Answer
