Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the central atoms

The molecule shown has two central atoms: carbon (C) and nitrogen (N).

Step 2: Determine the hybridization of each central atom
  • Carbon (C): The carbon atom is bonded to three atoms (one nitrogen and two hydrogen atoms) and has no lone pairs. This suggests sp² hybridization.
  • Nitrogen (N): The nitrogen atom is bonded to three atoms (one carbon and two hydrogen atoms) and has one lone pair. This suggests sp³ hybridization.
Step 3: Predict the ideal bond angles based on hybridization
  • Carbon (sp² hybridization): The ideal bond angle is approximately 120°.
  • Nitrogen (sp³ hybridization): The ideal bond angle is approximately 109.5°.

Final Answer

  • Carbon: 120°
  • Nitrogen: 109.5°

On their first date, Kelly asks Mike to guess the date of her birth, not including the year. Complete parts a through c below. a. What is the probability that Mike will guess correctly? (Ignore leap years.) 1/365 (Type an integer or a simplified fraction.) b. Would it be unlikely for him to guess correctly on his first try? A. It is impossible for Mike to guess correctly on his first try, as the probability of a correct guess is 0. B. Yes, it is unlikely for Mike to guess correctly on his first try, as the probability of a correct guess is very low. C. No, it is not unlikely for Mike to guess correctly on his first try, as the probability of a correct guess is very high. D. It is impossible for Mike to not guess correctly on his first try, as the probability of a correct guess is 1. E. Yes, it is unlikely for Mike to guess correctly on his first try, as the probability of a correct guess is very high. F. No, it is not unlikely for Mike to guess correctly on his first try, as the probability of a correct guess is very low. c. If you were Kelly, and Mike did guess correctly on his first try, would you believe his claim that he made a lucky guess, or would you be convinced that he already knew when you were born?
