Answer:

sp^{3} on N overlaps with 1s on H.

Explanation:

Hybridization of central atom generally can be found by finding the hybridization number.Hybridization number is the sum of number of lone pairs and number of sigma bonds.

If hybridization number is 2 then the central atom is sp hybridized.

If it is 3 it is sp^{2} hybridized.

If it is 4 it is sp^{3} hybridized and so on.

Here in NH_{3} molecule there are 3 sigma bonds and one lone pair(see the figure attached).

Hence hybridization number is 4 and hence it is sp^{3} hybridized.

And in case of hydrogen atom the only electron of it resides in the 1s orbital.

Therefore sp^{3} on N overlaps with 1s on H.

Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol has the tert-butyl group in the equatorial position and the alcohol in the ________ position.
Anni [7]

Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation  where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.
