Document Summary

There are three half-filled 2p orbitals on n, and one half-filled 5p orbital on i. Each half- filled 2p orbital from n will overlap with one half-filled 5p orbital of an i. The i atoms will be oriented in the same direction as the three 2p orbitals of n: toward the x. , and z-directions of a cartesian coordinate system. Thus, the i n i angles will be approximately 90 (probably larger because the i atoms will repel each other). I atoms will lie in the same plane at the points of a triangle, with the n atom centered above them. Since vsepr theory makes a prediction closer to the experimental bond angle of 107 , it seems more appropriate in this case. Each central atom is surrounded by four electron pairs, requiring sp3 hybridization. The carbon atoms have tetrahedral geometry, the oxygen atom is bent.
