Draw the Lewis structure of N2Oand then choose the appropriate pair of hybridization states for the two central atoms. Your answer choice is independent of the orientation of your drawn structure. A) sp / sp
B) sp / sp
C) sp / sp
D) sp / sp
E) sp / sp

since the atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus, as we move to the left on the periodic table, the electrostatic pull between the nucleus and the valence electron shell decreases. as we move down a group (vertical column), the valence shell energy level gets further and further from the nucleus.

the answers are

c and c
