Answer to Problem 3.27P
Explanation of Solution
The structure of the molecules mentioned in the question is shown below:
The two
In the first molecule, according to VSEPR theory, the
In the second molecule, according to VSEPR theory, the
This shows that in the first molecule, the percentage s character in C-N bond is more than that in the second molecule. Therefore, the C-N bond is shorter and stronger in the first molecule.
Bond length and bond strength is determined from the hybridization involved in the molecule.
