Hi everyone here, we have a question asking us to draw two structures with the formula C three H seven N. Where there is at most one CH three group identify which structure would have a larger carbon nitrogen carbon bond angle. So our first structure, we're going to have two hydrogen bond to a carbon double bonded to a nitrogen With one lone pair Single bonded to a carbon bonded to two hydrogen bonded to A CH three Group. Next we're going to have H two C double bonded to carbon bonded to hydrogen bonded to nitrogen bonded to hydrogen And our nitrogen bonded to a CH three group. And our first structure is going to have the larger bond angle and that is our final answer. Thank you for watching. Bye.
