12. Molecular Shapes & Valence Bond Theory
Hybridization
14PRACTICE PROBLEM
Shown below is the structure of carbamic acid, a precursor in the industrial synthesis of urea. Use the VSEPR model to determine the hybridization and bond angles around the C and N atoms. Compare this with the actual hybridization and bond angles based on the 3D model below.
Legend: C = grey, H = white, O = red, N = blue
