Question

below is the lewis structure of the hydrazine (n₂h₂) molecule. h : n :: n : h count the number of bonding pairs and the number of lone pairs around the left nitrogen atom in this molecule. bonding pairs: lone pairs:

Explanation:

Step1: Identify bonding pairs

The left - hand nitrogen atom is bonded to one hydrogen atom and one nitrogen atom. Each bond represents a bonding pair. So, there are 2 bonding pairs.

Step2: Identify lone pairs

The left - hand nitrogen atom has two non - bonding pairs of electrons (represented by the two sets of dots). So, there are 2 lone pairs.

Answer:

bonding pairs: 2
lone pairs: 2
