**Question:**A nitrogen atom has sp² hybridization. What type of bonds does it form?**Options:**- O 2 π bonds and 1 σ bond- O 1 π bond and 2 σ bonds- O 2 π bonds and 2 σ bonds- O 2 π bonds only- O 2 σ bonds only**Explanation:**This is a multiple-choice question focusing on the type of bonds formed by a nitrogen atom with sp² hybridization. In sp² hybridization, one s orbital and two p orbitals mix to form three equivalent sp² hybrid orbitals. Typically, this allows for the formation of one σ bond and one π bond, such as in the case of a double bond found in molecules like ethylene (C₂H₄). The question requires understanding the bonding and hybridization concepts.

Given The hybridization of nitrogen atom is sp2.. Identify the types of bonds.The total number of valence electrons in N atom = 5When nitrogen exists in sp2 hybridization, then one s and two p-orbitals hybridized and form 3 sp2 hybrid orbitals. In such case, one half-filled p-orbital which forms a -orbital.Among three sp2 hybrid orbitals, one lone pair electrons is present in one sp2 hybrid orbital. Therefore two sp2 hybrid orbitals forms two -bonds.Therefore sp2 hybrid N atom forms one pi-bond and two sigma bonds. Answer : Correct option is 1 bonds

What is the best definition of a "triple bond" using valence bond theory? A triple bond is a combination of two sigma and one pi bond. A triple bond is two sigma bonds. A triple bond is the combination of a sigma and pi bond. A triple bond is a combination of a sigma and two pi bonds. A triple bond is a pi bond.

Which statements accurately describe sigma bonds? Sigma bonds can only result from the overlap of two p orbitals. Sigma bonds only form when regions of orbitals with different signs overlap. Sigma bonds are symmetric about the internuclear axis. Sigma bonds result from the overlap of orbitals in only one region of space. Sigma bonds result from the overlap of orbitals in two regions of space. Sigma bonds cannot rotate without interfering with orbital overlap. A sigma bond could result from the sideways (as opposed to head-on) overlap of two p orbitals. Sigma bonds only form when regions of orbitals with the same sign overlap.
