Write a hybridization and bonding scheme for each molecule that contains more than one interior atom. Indicate the hybridization about each interior atom. Sketch the structure, including overlapping orbitals, and label all bonds using the notation shown in Examples 10.6 and 10.7. \begin{equation}\begin{array}{l}{\text { a. } \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \text { (skeletal structure HNNH) }} \\ {\text { b. } \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4} \text { (skeletal structure } \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{NNH}_{2} )} \\ {\text { c. } \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \text { (skeletal structure } \mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{CNH}_{2} )}\end{array}\end{equation}
Describe the hybridization of the carbon atom in formaldehyde, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O},$ and make a rough sketch of the molecule showing the orbitals involved in bonding.
