(a)
Interpretation:
The formula of the ion or molecule in which an atom of N forms 3 bonds using sp3 hybrid orbitals needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
- Hybridization involves mixing of valence orbitals to form new orbitals that are lower in energy and more stable than the original orbitals. The new orbitals are termed as hybrid orbitals.
- The molecular geometry can be predicted by classifying the species type as: AXm En , A = central atom; X = atom bonded to the central atom; E = lone pairs on the central
m = number
n = number of unshared electron pairs.
The value of m + n reflects the geometry and hybridization of the central atom
(b)
Interpretation:
The formula of the ion or molecule in which an atom of N forms 2 pi bonds and 1 sigma bond needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
- Hybridization involves mixing of valence orbitals to form new orbitals that are lower in energy and more stable than the original orbitals. The new orbitals are termed as hybrid orbitals.
- The molecular geometry can be predicted by classifying the species type as: AXm En , A = central atom; X = atom bonded to the central atom; E = lone pairs on the central atom
m = number of atoms around the central atom or the number of bonds around A
n = number of unshared electron pairs.
The value of m + n reflects the geometry and hybridization of the central atom
(c)
Interpretation:

- A pdf file of your hand drawn, stepwise mechanisms for the reactions. For each reaction in the assignment, you must write each mechanism three times (there are 10 reactions, so 30 mechanisms). (A) do the work on a tablet and save as a pdf., it is expected to write each mechanism out and NOT copy and paste the mechanism after writing it just once. Everything should be drawn out stepwise and every bond that is formed and broken in the process of the reaction, and is expected to see all relevant lone pair electrons and curved arrows.
