Methyl isocyanate, H3C-N=C=O, is used in the industrial synthesis of a type of pesticide and herbicide known as a carbamate. As
a historical note, an industrial accident in Bhopal, India in 1984 resulted in leakage of an unknown quantity of this chemical into the air. An estimated 200,000 persons were exposed to its vapors and over 2000 of these people died.

(b) What is the hybridization of the carbonyl carbon? _________sp²spsp³
What is the hybridization of the nitrogen? _________sp²spsp³

1 answer:
Answer:
(a) The lewis structure for methylisocyanate is in the attached.
(b) The carbonyl carbon have an sp² hybridization
(c) The nitrogen have an sp² hybridization?
Explanation:
(a) The lewis structure for methylisocyanate has the nitrogen with one lone pair and the oxygen with two lone pairs.
(b) The carbonyl carbon form double bond with the oxygen causing to form three hybrid orbitals sp².
The Nitrogen also forms a double bond with the carbon having an sp² hybridization too.
