Question

answer the following questions. Indicate the hybridization of each nitrogen (sp, sp2, sp3) AND which orbital the lone pair occupies (s,p,d,f)

### Organic Chemistry Problem - Basicity and Orbital Occupancy of Nitrogens in a Molecule **1. Consider the molecule shown below.** **a. Which of the two nitrogens is more basic (1 or 2)?** **b. What orbital do the lone pair electrons on nitrogen 1 occupy?** **c. What orbital do the lone pair electrons on nitrogen 2 occupy?** #### Diagram Explanation: The molecule is a five-membered ring (presumably a pyrrole-like structure). It contains two nitrogen atoms, which are labeled as nitrogen 1 and nitrogen 2. - **Nitrogen 1** has one lone pair and is part of the aromatic ring. - **Nitrogen 2** also has one lone pair but is not part of the aromaticity in the same way as nitrogen 1. Each nitrogen is indicated with an arrow and labeled: - **Nitrogen 1** (label 1) at the top of the ring. - **Nitrogen 2** (label 2) on the right side of the ring. Note: The details about the exact positions and aromaticity depend on the specific molecular structure which looks to be part of a larger context for a chemistry lesson.
