Nitrene
In
chemistry
, a
nitrene
(R-N:) is the
nitrogen
analogue of a (
carbon
carbene
). The nitrogen
atom
has only 6
electrons
available and is therefore considered an
electrophile
. A nitrene is a
reactive intermediate
and is involved is many
chemical reactions
.
electron configuration
In the most simple nitrene linear
imidogene
(:N-H) two of the 6 available electrons form a
covalent bond
with
hydrogen
, two other create a
free electron pair
and the two remaining electrons occupy two
degenerate
p-orbitals
. Consistent with
Hund's rule
the low energy form of imidogene is a triplet with one electron for each orbital and the high energy form is the singlet state with a electron pair in one filled orbital and one empty orbital
