Chapter 2.6, Problem CQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The hybridization of the nitrogen atom within the ring and the nitrogen atom protruding from the ring has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Hybridization:

When two atomic orbitals of equal energy mix together, it gives rise to two new hybridized orbitals of degenerated energy.  This process is called Hybridization.  Depending on the type of orbitals involved in mixing, hybridization is classified as $sp,s{p}^2,s{p}^3,s{p}^{3}d,s{p}^3{d}^2$.
