Video transcript

So everyone. So in this video we're given three different structures here, We're trying to see which structure will contain a nitrogen atom that contains two pi bonds and one sigma bond. So we know that all types of korean bonds have one sigma bond regardless of how many or what the bond order is. So any other bonds that we see is going to be considered as pi bonds. So they're saying that we're going to look out for a total of three bonds. So we're basically looking for a structure that contains a triple bond. So our first structure here, we only have single bonds and double bonds. So that's automatically out for our um structure. Be here, we do have a triple bond for between our carbon and nitrogen. And then for our last structure here, we only have single bonds. So that automatic is out. So B is going to be the structure that contains a nitrogen atom with two pi bonds and one sigma bond.
