Nitrogen atoms in amines are sp^(3)-hybr...

Nitrogen atoms in amines are `sp^(3)`-hybridised, why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Like `NH_(3)`, N-atom in amines is trivalent and carries an unshared pair of electrons. Thus, nitrogen orbitals in amines are `sp^(3)`-hybridised and the geometry of amines is pyramidal.
