Questions: Assign the hybridization and bond angles at atoms 1-4

Transcript text: Assign the hybridization and bond angles at atoms 1-4

Solution

Step 1: Determine the Hybridization of Atom 1

Atom 1 is a nitrogen atom in a ring structure.
It is bonded to three atoms (two carbons and one hydrogen) and has one lone pair.
The hybridization of nitrogen with three sigma bonds and one lone pair is sp2.

Step 2: Determine the Bond Angle at Atom 1

Step 3: Determine the Hybridization of Atom 2

Atom 2 is a carbon atom in a ring structure.
It is bonded to three atoms (two carbons and one nitrogen) and has no lone pairs.
The hybridization of carbon with three sigma bonds and no lone pairs is sp2.
