Chapter 1, Problem 1.79P

The N atom in CH 3 CONH 2 (acetamide) is s p 2 hybridized, even though it is surrounded by four groups. Using this information, draw a diagram that shows orbitals used by the atoms in the CONH 2 portion of acetamide, and offer an explanation as to the observed hybridization.
