iv. Diazene (N,H,) and hydrazine (NH,NH,) are reactive nitrogen
compounds. Use the hybrid orbitals theory to compare the
bonding in these two molecules, and describe the differences in
their molecular structures.
v. Which molecules in the following figure show an increase in
bond order when one electron is added to the molecule? (Hint:

vi. Use the molecular orbitals theory to decide whether NF would
be stabilized or destabilized by adding one electron to make the
corresponding anion and by removing an electron to form the
corresponding cation. {Hint: Describe the bonding in all
species.}
