(a)
Interpretation:
The hybridization of each carbon and nitrogen in structure of bases(a) and (b) has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Hybridization is calculated by steric number given as follows:
The table that relates the steric number with hybridization is as follows:
The table that relates the steric number with geometry and bond angles is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of
Concept Introduction:
A single bond is always associated with sigma bonds. Molecules that have all atoms connected by sigma bond exclusively are stated to be in
A double bond and carbocation are associated with
A triple bond is always associated with
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of lone pairs in both the bases (a) and (b) has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The unshared pair of electrons that remain localized and do not involve in bond formation is termed as lone pair.
