Answer to Question #154780 in Inorganic Chemistry for mary

Question

what is the geometry around each central atom in Carbamylcholine

Answer 1

As shown in the picture above, there are three sigma bonds around the first carbon atom and sp²

shows the hybridization, thus showing the trigonal pianar geometry and shape around that atom.

There are four sigma bonds around the second and third carbon atoms and sp³ shows the hybridization, thus showing the tetrahedral geometry and the shape around the carbon atoms.

The second oxygen atom has two sigma bonds and two lone pairs of electrons around it sp³ shows the hybridization ,Thus it has the tetrahedral geometry and the bent shape around it ( because of two lone pairs).
