The correct Answer is:
To determine the structures of \( N(CH_3)_3 \) and \( N(SiH_3)_3 \), we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the structure of \( N(CH_3)_3 \) 1. **Identify the central atom**: The central atom in \( N(CH_3)_3 \) is nitrogen (N). 2. **Count the bonds and lone pairs**: Nitrogen has one lone pair and forms three bonds with three methyl groups (CH₃). 3. **Determine hybridization**: The nitrogen atom undergoes sp³ hybridization because it has four regions of electron density (three bond pairs and one lone pair). 4. **Determine molecular geometry**: The presence of the lone pair results in a pyramidal shape (specifically, trigonal pyramidal) due to the repulsion between the lone pair and the bond pairs. 5. **Final structure**: The structure of \( N(CH_3)_3 \) is therefore trigonal pyramidal. ### Step 2: Analyze the structure of \( N(SiH_3)_3 \) 1. **Identify the central atom**: The central atom in \( N(SiH_3)_3 \) is again nitrogen (N). 2. **Count the bonds**: Nitrogen forms three bonds with three silane groups (SiH₃). 3. **Determine hybridization**: The bonding between nitrogen and silicon involves pπ-dπ back bonding due to the presence of d orbitals in silicon. This leads to sp² hybridization for nitrogen. 4. **Determine molecular geometry**: With three bond pairs and no lone pairs, the geometry is trigonal planar. 5. **Final structure**: The structure of \( N(SiH_3)_3 \) is therefore trigonal planar. ### Summary of Structures - The structure of \( N(CH_3)_3 \) is **trigonal pyramidal**. - The structure of \( N(SiH_3)_3 \) is **trigonal planar**. ---
