What is the hybridization and the bond angles around the nitrogen atom in an amide? A) sp hybridization,180 $\circ$ bond angles B) sp² hybridization and 109 $\circ$ bond angles C) sp² hybridization and 120 $\circ$ bond angles D) sp³ hybridization and 109 $\circ$ bond angles E) sp³ hybridization and 120 $\circ$ bond angles

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an amide, the nitrogen atom is sp² hybridized due to resonance with the carbonyl group, resulting in approximately 120° bond angles.
