Given information
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
has a total of and , electrons.
Let us draw the lewis structure by distributing these electrons in this structure.
Carbon atom forms a total of four single bonds.Three single bonds is formed by carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms and bonds with nitrogen also.Nitrogen atom forms three single bonds with three hydrogen atoms and thus complete its octet.
Carbon atom has four electron domains around it and hence electron geometry of carbon in this molecule is tetrahedral.Thus hybridization of carbon here is .
Nitrogen atom has four electron domains around it and hence the electron geometry of nitrogen in this molecule is tetrahedral.Thus hybridization of nitrogen here is .
