Draw a Lewis structure for diimide, H-N=N-H, explain how the Lewis structure is drawn. Then, using valence bond theory, describe the bonding in this compound. What orbitals overlap to form the
bond between nitrogen atoms in this compound? Explain and elaborate.

Definition Definition Theory that explains how individual atomic orbitals with an unpaired electron each, come close to each other and overlap to form a molecular orbital giving a covalent bond. VBT gives a quantum mechanical approach to the formation of covalent bonds with the help of wave functions using attractive and repulsive energies when two atoms are brought from infinity to their internuclear distance.
