The 'N' atom in pyridine is
Correct answer: B. sp² hybridization
- A. sp³ hybridization
- B. sp² hybridization
- C. ap hybridization
- D. Cannot predicted
Explanation
As explained above pyridine is sp2 hybridized. It forms three sigma bonds with the carbon atoms and hydrogen atom in the ring and has a trigonal planar geometry.

About Fundamental Principles of Organic Chemistry
Organic chemistry begins with carbon compounds classified by carbon skeleton, saturation and functional group. Work includes identifying groups such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, carboxyl and amino, applying basic nomenclature, and distinguishing structural, geometric and optical isomers, where the same molecular formula does not necessarily mean the same structure or properties.
