Question

The HNC bond angle in the cation [CH 2 NH 2 ] +  is approximately ________.A)  60°B)  90°C)  109.5°D)  120°E)  180°

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The HNC bond angle in the cation is approximately 120°, as the nitrogen atom is sp² hybridized and the three hybrid orbitals are arranged in a trigonal planar geometry. The hydrogen atom is bonded to the unhybridized p orbital of nitrogen, which is perpendicular to the plane of the hybrid orbitals. Therefore, the HNC bond angle is close to 120°.
