Hi there.
00:03
In this question, we are asked about the approximate bond angle around the nitrogen atom.
00:08
So i've isolated just this portion of the molecule.
00:11
We have nitrogen with one lone pair, and the nitrogen is bonded to two atoms.
00:17
So let's go ahead and list that out.
00:19
There are two atoms bonded to the nitrogen, and there is one lone pair.
00:33
Adding these together gives us three as the number of electron groups or electron domains, which, whichever you call it.
00:47
All right, so we have three electron groups.
00:49
So the electron geometry, when you have three groups around the central atom, the electron geometry is, looks like this.
01:02
So the electron geometry, we have a trigonal planar.
01:13
So we have a central atom with three electron groups around it...
