1. Consider the substance A below. \( \mathrm{S}=\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{NH} \) Substance A (a) What is the molecular geometry of substance \( A \) with respect to the carbon atom? Answer: \( \qquad \) (2 marks) (b) What is the hybridization of the sulfur atom? \( \qquad \) (2 marks) (c) What is the hybridization of the carbon atom? \( \qquad \) (2marks) (d) What is the hybridization of the nitrogen atom? \( \qquad \) (2marks) (e) What is the IUPAC name of substance A? \( \qquad \) (2 marks) (f) Does substance A have a dipole moment? Yes/NO, if yes what is its direction? (g) Draw a picture of substance A showing the orbitals involved in the \( \sigma \) and \( \pi \) bonds including its lone pairs.

Step 1
This is because the carbon atom is bonded to two other atoms (sulfur and nitrogen) and there are no lone pairs on the carbon atom, resulting in a linear shape. Show more…
