Acrylic fibers are polymers made from a starting mate- rial called acrylonitrile, H,C(CH)CN. In acrylonitrile, a -C=N _group replaces a hydrogen atom on ethene. Draw the Lewis diagram for this molecule, give the hybridization of each carbon atom, and describe the T orbitals and the number of electrons that occupy each one. Draw the three-dimensional structure of the mole- cule, showing all angles.

Acrylic fibers are polymers made from a starting mate-
rial called acrylonitrile, H,C(CH)CN. In acrylonitrile, a
-C=N _group replaces a hydrogen atom on ethene.
Draw the Lewis diagram for this molecule, give the
hybridization of each carbon atom, and describe the
T orbitals and the number of electrons that occupy each
one. Draw the three-dimensional structure of the mole-
cule, showing all angles.
