- 109°
- 109°
- 120°
- 120°
- 109°
- 120°
Explanation of Solution
The hybridization of bonded atoms determines the bond angle.
A sp3 hybrid C atom has 109° bond angle with tetrahedral geometry whereas a sp2 hybrid C atom has 120 ° bond angle with trigonal planer geometry. Similarly the single bonded N atom has 109° bond angle whereas a double bonded N atom has 120° bond angle. Thus, the marked bond angles must be:
- 109°
- 109°
- 120°
- 120°
- 109°
- 120°
Interpretation: Interpret the number of sigma bonds in the given molecule including hydrogen atoms.

Answer to Problem 40E
There are total 30 sigma bonds in the molecule.
Explanation of Solution
A single covalent bond is formed by one sigma bond whereas one double bond is composed of one sigma bond and one pi bond.
Each C atom must be bonded with four other atoms. Therefore in the bond line formula, each C atom must be bonded with other C or N atom and the tetravalency will be completed with H atoms.
Thus there are total 30 sigma bonds in the given molecule.
(f)
Interpretation: Interpret the number of p-bonds in the given molecule.

(f)
Answer to Problem 40E
There are total 3 p-bonds in the molecule.
Explanation of Solution
A single covalent bond is formed by one sigma bond whereas one double bond is composed of one sigma bond and one pi bond.
Each C atom must be bonded with four other atoms. Therefore, in the bond line formula, each C atom must be bonded with other C or N atom and the tetravalency will be completed with H atoms.
Thus, there are total 3 p-bonds in the given molecule.
