What is the Lewis structure and hybridization of NHCH2?

a) Draw a Lewis structure for NHCH2, including formal charges and lone pairs (if required).b) Use valence shell electron pair repulsion theory to state the overall shape of the molecule, including approximate bond angles. c) State the hybridization of the central atom (both N and C). I think the Lewis structure is: . . N = C – H | |H H These would give it a “see-saw” trigonal bi-pyramidal shape, based on the 4 bonding domains and one lone pair, but the shape doesnt seem right for the lewis structure. I’m lost!

i think this is the most probable structure.H | . . C = N -H (there’s a lone pair on N) | H N’s valency is 3 therefore it tends to make 3 bonds (mostly)C’s valency is 4 therefore it tends to make 4 bondsAround C -shape is triangular planar and sp2 hybridizationAround N- shape is angular/V and sp2 hybridization...
