Question

Hybridization of N2O???

Answer 1

In N2O the hybridisation of both the nitrogen atoms is sp because the terminal nitrogen has 1 sigma bond and one loan pair of electrons and middle nitrogen has 2 sigma bonds.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In $N_{2}O$ molecule, the central atom is nitrogen and not oxygen. Therefore, hybridization of this compound will be as follows.

            Hybridization = $\frac{\text{Valency of C.A + Electrons contributed by monoatomic atom - positive charge + negative charge}{2}$

                           = $\frac{(2 \times 5) + (1 \times 6)}{2}$

                           = 8

In this molecule, both the nitrogen atoms are connected to each other through a triple bond and the oxygen atom is connected to one nitrogen atom with a single bond.

Therefore, hybridization of each nitrogen atom is sp and hybridization of oxygen atom is $sp^{3}$.
