Which of the following statements are correct?
`(I)` `N_(2)H_(4)` is pyramidal about each N atom.
`(II)` `NH_(2)OH` is pyramidal about the N atom and bent about the O atom.

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements about the given compounds are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** `N2H4` is pyramidal about each N atom. - **Structure of Hydrazine (N2H4):** - The molecular structure of hydrazine consists of two nitrogen atoms, each bonded to two hydrogen atoms. - Each nitrogen atom has one lone pair of electrons. - **Hybridization:** - Each nitrogen atom in hydrazine is sp³ hybridized due to the presence of three regions of electron density (two N-H bonds and one lone pair). - **Geometry:** - The presence of a lone pair on each nitrogen atom results in a pyramidal geometry around each nitrogen atom. **Conclusion for Statement I:** True. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II:** `NH2OH` is pyramidal about the N atom and bent about the O atom. - **Structure of Hydroxylamine (NH2OH):** - Hydroxylamine consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl group (–OH). - **Hybridization:** - The nitrogen atom is sp³ hybridized (three regions of electron density: two N-H bonds and one lone pair). - The oxygen atom is also sp³ hybridized (two lone pairs and one bond to hydrogen). - **Geometry:** - The nitrogen atom with one lone pair is pyramidal. - The oxygen atom with two lone pairs is bent due to the repulsion of the lone pairs. **Conclusion for Statement II:** True. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement III **Statement III:** `CH3COCl` is trigonal planar about the carbon atom (attached to O and Cl). - **Structure of Acetyl Chloride (CH3COCl):** - The structure consists of a carbon atom bonded to three atoms: a methyl group (–CH3), a carbonyl group (C=O), and a chlorine atom (Cl). - **Hybridization:** - The carbon atom in the carbonyl group (C=O) is sp² hybridized (three regions of electron density: one C=O double bond and one C-Cl single bond, and one C-H bond). - **Geometry:** - An sp² hybridized carbon atom has a trigonal planar geometry. **Conclusion for Statement III:** True. ### Final Conclusion All three statements are correct.

To determine which of the statements about the given compounds are correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I:** `N2H4` is pyramidal about each N atom. - **Structure of Hydrazine (N2H4):** - The molecular structure of hydrazine consists of two nitrogen atoms, each bonded to two hydrogen atoms. - Each nitrogen atom has one lone pair of electrons. ...
