NÁ
a. Add all implied hydrogen atoms to the skeletal structure.
b. How many tetrahedral carbons are in the molecule? What hybridization do tetrahedral
carbon atoms have?
c. Consider the bond marked by *. Based on what you know about electronegativity trends,
which atom in the bond is more electron rich? Draw a dipole arrow pointing toward the
more electron rich atom.
d. Label each N atom with its hybridization (sp, sp², or sp³). Based on the hybridization that
you assigned, what atomic orbitals does each N atom possess? (Hint: Each atom should
always have 4 atomic orbitals.)
NA atomic orbitals NB atomic orbitals Ne atomic orbitals ND atomic orbitals
e. Consider the lone pair on each nitrogen atoms. What atomic or hybridized atomic orbital
holds each lone pair (sp, sp², sp³, s, or p)?
Lone pair on N₁ held by Lone pair on NB held by Lone pair on ND held by
