Homework Statement
1. What is the molecular shape of Hydrazine N2H4 w.r.t. N atom?
2. H2S and H2O, which one has a larger bond angle?
2. The attempt at a solution
1. Trigonal Pyramidal is the answer given. But Hydrazine has 5 atoms around its central atom and I'm unable to fathom why is it in trigonal pyramidal.
2. H2O is the answer as O is more electronegative. But why is this the case? I've checked the internet and nothing tells me why an electronegative central atom could cause a larger bond angle.
Thank you for your time.
