What orbital do the lone-pair electrons occupy in each of the following compounds?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Nitrogen is attached with carbon with a single bond hence it is sp3hybridized.

b) Nitrogen is attached with carbon with a double bond hence it is sp2hybridized.

c) Nitrogen is attached with carbon with a triple bond hence it is sphybridized.
