Q
Q: Identify the hybridization of the central atom in NH3.
Solution:
The nitrogen atom in NH3 is sp3 hybridized, forming three bonds and one lone pair.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Identify the central atom in NH3, which is nitrogen (N).
Step 2: Count the number of bonds nitrogen forms in NH3. Nitrogen forms three bonds with three hydrogen (H) atoms.
Step 3: Determine if there are any lone pairs on the nitrogen atom. In NH3, nitrogen has one lone pair.
Step 4: Add the number of bonds (3) to the number of lone pairs (1). This gives a total of 4 regions of electron density.
Step 5: Use the total number of regions of electron density to determine hybridization. 4 regions correspond to sp3 hybridization.
