Question

What is the hybridization of the nitrogen atom and the observable molecular shape of a simple primary amine?

Answer: C

💡 Solution & Explanation

The nitrogen atom in simple amines uses four $sp^3$ hybrid orbitals (three for bond pairs, one for the lone pair). According to VSEPR theory, the presence of the unshared lone pair makes the observable molecular geometry pyramidal.
