The correct Answer is:
To determine which NH bond has the highest amount of s-character, we need to analyze the hybridization of the nitrogen atoms in the given compounds: NH3 (ammonia), NH4+ (ammonium ion), NH2 (hydrazine), and diazene (N2H2). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze NH3 (Ammonia)**: - Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. - In NH3, there are 3 hydrogen atoms (monovalent). - There are no cations or anions. - Calculation: \[ \text{Valence Electron Count} = \frac{(5 + 3 - 0 + 0)}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \] - The steric number is 4, which corresponds to sp³ hybridization. - **S-character**: \[ \text{S-character} = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25\% \] 2. **Analyze NH4+ (Ammonium Ion)**: - Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. - In NH4+, there are 4 hydrogen atoms. - There is a +1 cationic charge. - Calculation: \[ \text{Valence Electron Count} = \frac{(5 + 4 - 1 + 0)}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \] - The steric number is 4, which also corresponds to sp³ hybridization. - **S-character**: \[ \text{S-character} = \frac{1}{4} \times 100 = 25\% \] 3. **Analyze NH2 (Hydrazine)**: - Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. - In NH2, there are 2 hydrogen atoms. - There are no cations or anions. - Calculation: \[ \text{Valence Electron Count} = \frac{(5 + 2 - 0 + 0)}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \text{ (round down to 3)} \] - The steric number is 3, which corresponds to sp² hybridization. - **S-character**: \[ \text{S-character} = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 \approx 33\% \] 4. **Analyze Diazene (N2H2)**: - Each nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. - In diazene, there are 2 hydrogen atoms. - There are no cations or anions. - Calculation for each nitrogen: \[ \text{Valence Electron Count} = \frac{(5 + 2 - 0 + 0)}{2} = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5 \text{ (round down to 3)} \] - The steric number is 2, which corresponds to sp hybridization. - **S-character**: \[ \text{S-character} = \frac{1}{2} \times 100 = 50\% \] ### Conclusion: Among the NH bonds analyzed: - NH3 and NH4+ have 25% s-character. - NH2 has 33% s-character. - Diazene has 50% s-character. Thus, the highest amount of s-character is observed in the NH bond of **diazene (N2H2)**.

To determine which NH bond has the highest amount of s-character, we need to analyze the hybridization of the nitrogen atoms in the given compounds: NH3 (ammonia), NH4+ (ammonium ion), NH2 (hydrazine), and diazene (N2H2). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze NH3 (Ammonia)**: - Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons. - In NH3, there are 3 hydrogen atoms (monovalent). - There are no cations or anions. ...
