The correct Answer is:
To determine the hybridization of nitrogen in the given compounds \(N_3^-\), \((H_3Si)_3N\), and \((H_3C)_3N\), we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the hybridization of nitrogen in \(N_3^-\) 1. **Draw the Lewis Structure**: - The azide ion \(N_3^-\) consists of three nitrogen atoms. The structure can be represented as \(N \equiv N - N^-\), where the first nitrogen is triple bonded to the second nitrogen, and the second nitrogen is single bonded to the third nitrogen, which carries a negative charge. - The central nitrogen atom has one lone pair. 2. **Count the Sigma Bonds**: - There are 2 sigma bonds (one between the first and second nitrogen, and one between the second and third nitrogen). - The lone pair on the central nitrogen does not count as a sigma bond. 3. **Determine Hybridization**: - The total number of regions of electron density around the central nitrogen is 2 (from the sigma bonds). - Therefore, the hybridization is \(sp\) (since 2 regions correspond to \(sp\) hybridization). ### Step 2: Determine the hybridization of nitrogen in \((H_3Si)_3N\) 1. **Draw the Lewis Structure**: - The nitrogen is bonded to three \(SiH_3\) groups. Each \(SiH_3\) contributes one sigma bond to nitrogen. - The nitrogen also has one lone pair. 2. **Count the Sigma Bonds**: - There are 3 sigma bonds (one from each \(SiH_3\)). - The lone pair on nitrogen counts as another region of electron density. 3. **Determine Hybridization**: - The total number of regions of electron density around nitrogen is 4 (3 from sigma bonds and 1 from the lone pair). - Therefore, the hybridization is \(sp^3\) (since 4 regions correspond to \(sp^3\) hybridization). ### Step 3: Determine the hybridization of nitrogen in \((H_3C)_3N\) 1. **Draw the Lewis Structure**: - The nitrogen is bonded to three \(CH_3\) groups. Each \(CH_3\) contributes one sigma bond to nitrogen. - The nitrogen also has one lone pair. 2. **Count the Sigma Bonds**: - There are 3 sigma bonds (one from each \(CH_3\)). - The lone pair on nitrogen counts as another region of electron density. 3. **Determine Hybridization**: - The total number of regions of electron density around nitrogen is 4 (3 from sigma bonds and 1 from the lone pair). - Therefore, the hybridization is \(sp^3\) (since 4 regions correspond to \(sp^3\) hybridization). ### Summary of Hybridizations - For \(N_3^-\): Hybridization is \(sp\). - For \((H_3Si)_3N\): Hybridization is \(sp^3\). - For \((H_3C)_3N\): Hybridization is \(sp^3\). ### Final Answer - The hybridizations of nitrogen in the compounds are: - \(N_3^-\): \(sp\) - \((H_3Si)_3N\): \(sp^3\) - \((H_3C)_3N\): \(sp^3\)
