Vedclass · Answer

(C) The given molecule is piperidine. In piperidine,the nitrogen atom is bonded to two carbon atoms and one hydrogen atom,and it also possesses one lone pair of electrons. Number of electron domains around $N = 2 	ext{ (bonds to } C) + 1 	ext{ (bond to } H) + 1 	ext{ (lone pair)} = 4$. Since the steric number is $4$,the hybridization of the nitrogen atom is $sp^3$.

What is the expected hybridization of $N$ in the given molecule?
