The structure of melatonin incorporates two nitrogen atoms. What are the hybridization state and geometry of each nitrogen atom? Explain your answer.

Respuesta :

Let us see the structure of given compound melatonin


The two nitrogen atoms appear to be sp3 hybridized but the actual hybridization of both the nitrogens in the structure is sp2 as they have to gain planar geometry so that they can participate in the resonance making the compound more stable

so answer is

sp2 hybridized

trigonal planar geometry

The study of chemicals is called chemistry. The fusion of two different shells to form a compound is called hybridization.

The correct answer to the question is sp2

What is geometry?

  • Geometry is, with arithmetic, one of the oldest branches of mathematics. It is concerned with properties of space that are related to distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures.
  • A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a geometer.

The two nitrogen atoms appear to be sp3 hybridized but the actual hybridization of both the nitrogens in the structure is sp2 as they have to gain planar geometry so that they can participate in the resonance making the compound more stable

Hence, the correct answer is sp2 hybridized and trigonal planar geometry.
