Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Hybridisation of single-bonded nitrogen atoms has to be given.
(b)
Interpretation:
Hybridisation of double-bonded sulphur atoms has to be given.
(c)
Interpretation:
Hybridisation of double-bonded nitrogen atoms has to be given.
(d)
Interpretation:
Number of sigma bonds and number of pi bonds in the molecule have to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Sigma (σ) bonds are the bonds in which shared hybrid orbital’s electron density are concentrated along the internuclear axis.
Pi (π) bonds are the bonds in which shared un-hybridized orbital’s (p, d, etc) electron density are concentrated in above and below of the plane of the molecule.
(e)
Interpretation:
The position of sigma and pi bonds in the molecule has to be shown.
(f)
Interpretation:
Lewis structure for another resonance hybrid structure has to be shown.
