Chemistry · Class 12 · CBSE — Amines
The shape of (CH3)3N is pyramidal because
- nitrogen forms three sp3 hybridised sigma bonds with carbon atoms of methyl groups and there is one non-bonding electron pair
- nitrogen forms three sp2 hybridised sigma bonds with carbon atoms of methyl groups and fourth orbital forms pi bond
- nitrogen has five valencies which are arranged in pyramidal shape.
- the unpaired electron present on nitrogen is delocalised.
Answer
(A) nitrogen forms three sp 3 hybridised sigma bonds with carbon atoms of methyl groups and there is one non-bonding electron pair
