The correct answer is:
Hybridisation is determined from the steric number (number of atoms bonded to the central atom + the number of lone pairs). Number of hybrid orbitals must be equal to the steric number.
From the Lewis structure.
(i) Steric number of N-atom (2 bonded atoms +1 lone pair), Hybridisation (3 hybrid orbitals).
(ii) Steric number of C-atom (2 bonded atoms),
: Hybridisation ( 2 hybrid orbitals).
(iii) Steric number of 0 -atom (1 bonded atom +2 lone pair) Hybridisation hybrid orbitals).
