Solution Steps

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
  • For an sp2 hybridized atom, the bond angles are approximately 120 degrees.
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.

Final Answer

  • Atom 1:
    • Bond Angle: 120 degrees
    • Hybridization: sp2
  • Atom 2:
    • Bond Angle: 120 degrees
    • Hybridization: sp2
