Posted: 13-07-2023

Answer:- The Structure of Glycine is attached below and each central atom is encircled with different colors.

Molecular Shape around Nitrogen Atom (Orange):

As revealed, Nitrogen is making three single bonds with two hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom henceforth, this has three bonded pair electrons and a single lone pair of electrons. Consequently, rendering to VSEPR theory this has a tetrahedral electronic geometry but due to revulsion formed by lone pair of electrons its molecular geometry becomes Trigonal Pyramidal. As revealed, Carbon is making four single bonds with two hydrogen atoms and one nitrogen atom one with carbon atom of carbonyl group henceforth, it has four bonded pair electrons.
