AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on drawing the 3D structure of HN=C=CH2 using dash-wedge representation. The user describes their approach, positioning the nitrogen and carbon atoms with specific line types to indicate bonds and lone pairs. They seek confirmation on the accuracy of their representation and inquire about the hybridization of nitrogen in the molecule. The mention of allene suggests a comparison to similar structures for clarity. Accurate representation and understanding of hybridization are essential for correctly visualizing such chemical structures.

Homework Statement



how would you draw this structure in 3d using dash-wedge representation?

HN=C=CH2

From my guess, I drew the N=C=C as being parallel, and the two hydrogens coming off the second C without having any dashes or wedges, but curving at 120 degrees from the carbon. For the HN, I had the H represented using a dark wedged line. To represent the N I had a dashed line going out, with 2 electrons depicted at the end of that dashed line to represents Nitrogens 2 free electrons.

Is this accurate and if not what is the right way? And what is the hybridization of the N in HN=C=CH2?

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
