Given information
We are given with the and we have to determine the molecular geometry.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The number of valence electrons on .
The number of valence electrons on
The total number of valence electrons is calculated by the formula,
Substitute the number of valence electrons of Nitrogen and Hydrogen in the above expression.
Total number of valence electrons
The number of octet electrons in N is 8 .
The number of octet electrons in H is 2 .
The total number of octet electrons is calculated by the formula,
Substitute the number of octet electrons of N and H in the above expression.
total number of octet electrons=2(8)+2(2)
=20
Substitute the value of number of octet electrons and valence electrons of N2H2 in equation
=20-12
=8
When Substituting the value of bonding electrons in the formula,
=8/2
=4
