(A) what is the hybridization of the nitrogen in each of the following compounds?
(B) how does hybridization affect the availability of the lone pair and the basicity of each compound?
Consider a hypothetical chemical reaction between compound A and compound B, which produces compound C as the final product. The reaction is known to be exothermic and spontaneous. However, when the reaction is carried out under certain conditions, it fails to occur. Explain this observation and propose a potential solution to overcome this hurdle.
Cyanic acid (HOCN) and isocyanic acid (HNCO) dissolve in water to give the same anion upon deprotonation. (i) Draw Lewis structures for cyanic acid and isocyanic acid. (ii) Using arrow pushing and resonance, account for the fact that each acid gives the same anion on loss of H+ when reacted with NaOH.
