To determine whether the molecules \( N(Me)_3 \) (trimethylamine) and \( N(SiH_3)_3 \) (trisilane) are isostructural, we need to analyze their molecular structures and hybridizations. ### Step 1: Analyze the structure of \( N(Me)_3 \) 1. **Identify the central atom**: In trimethylamine, the central atom is nitrogen (N). 2. **Count the substituents**: There are three methyl groups (Me) attached to the nitrogen atom. 3. **Consider lone pairs**: Nitrogen has one lone pair of electrons. 4. **Determine the hybridization**: The nitrogen atom is bonded to three groups and has one lone pair, leading to a total of four regions of electron density. This corresponds to \( sp^3 \) hybridization. ...
