Chemistry Hybridization On Organic Molecule Salitoxin

AI Thread Summary
The nitrogen atom labeled B in the provided image is hybridized as sp3 due to the presence of a lone pair and the two bonds it forms, which can be completed with an additional hydrogen atom that is not shown. The octet rule is satisfied by accounting for this lone pair, allowing for the sp3 hybridization. The discussion highlights that the structure in the image has some inaccuracies, particularly the omission of hydrogen atoms attached to the nitrogen. Clarifying these points helps in understanding the hybridization concept better. Overall, recognizing the missing components is crucial for completing the molecular structure correctly.

How is the hybridization on B (a nitrogen atom - refer to pic) sp3? I only see 2 bonds? how else can i complete an octet? Could someone explain the answers to me please..i have a day remaining before my exam..im desperate
thanks.

The hydrogen isn't shown and the lone pair isn't shown (for clarity).
 
First, you should notice that there's a few mistakes in the attached structure. The nitrogen atom labeled B, and the 2 other identical atoms are missing an H-atom that should be attached to them. So, treat them all as NH groups.

Now, you should be able to complete the octet with a lone pair, and that'll make the hybridization be sp3.

Does that make sense?

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

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...
