Question

Compare the electronic structure of N atom in trimethylamine and trisilylamine

Answer 1

Trimethylamine:

chemical formula for trimethylamine is-$(CH_{3}) _{3} N$

1)It has a boiling point of 2. and 9 degree centigrade and is a gas at room temperature.

2)Nitrogen or N atoms exhibits $sp_{3}$ hybridization.

3)And the shape of the N atom is tetrahedral and trigonal pyramidal.

Trisilylamine:

chemical formula for trisilylamine is-$N(SiH_{3} )_{3}$

1)N atom is trisilylamine is $sp^{2}$ hybridized.

2)It has a lone pair in 2p orbital which is transfer to the empty d-orbital and also it has planar structure.
