Bond length of C=N bond
« on: June 19, 2012, 06:30:22 AM »
Why is there a difference in bond length of the C=N bond in CH3NH2 (146pm) and that in CH3C(NH)CH3 (128pm)?

Is this due to the hybridisation of carbon? Im not too sure either.

Is there a flaw in this qn? I got it from sch and i was wondering why there is a double bond of C N bond in the first compound since carbon can only have maximum of 4 bonds...

This is a difference between single C-N bond and double C=N bond

Hmm ok i think there is a flaw in the qn now. @moderators you can delete this thread if you want :) it doesnt add meaning to any discussion anymore.
