Do (CH_(3))_(3)Nand (Me_(3)Si)_(3)have similarstructure ? Justify your answer . |
| Answer» SOLUTION :`(CH_(3))_(3) N` is pyramidal involving `SP^(3)`-hybridization of N atom.Nitrogenin `(Me_(3)SI)_(3)N` is, HOWEVER, `sp^(2)`-hybridized. The reasonbeing that the p-orbital of N containingthe lone pair of electronsoverlopwith avacant d-orbital of silicon.As a resultof this `ppi-dpi` backbonding, `(Me_(3)Si)_(3)N` is planar. Thus, `(CH_(3))_(3)N`and `(Me_(3)Si)_(3) N` are notisostructural .For structure. | |
