Given information
Write a hybridization and bonding scheme for each molecule containing more than one interior atom. Indicate the hybridization about each interior atom. Sketch the structure, including overlapping orbitals, and label all bonds using the notation shown in Examples 10.6 and 10.7.
(skeletal structure )
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
has a total valence electrons.
Let us draw the lewis structure by distributing these electrons in this structure.
Each nitrogen atom forms a single bond with one hydrogen atom and nitrogen atom forms a double bond with the other nitrogen atom and thus complete its octet.
Each nitrogen atom has three electron domains around it.Hence it has a trigonal planar electron geometry.
And so the hybridization of nitrogen atoms in this molecule is hybridization.
