Hydrazine, N 2 H 4 (having the structure H 2 NNH 2 ), and its derivatives have

Question:

Hydrazine, N2H4 (having the structure H2NNH2), and its derivatives have been used as rocket fuels. Draw the Lewis electron-dot formula for the hydrazine molecule.

Describe the geometries expected about the nitrogen atoms in this molecule. Why would you expect hydrazine to be basic? Which substance, NH3 or N2H4, would you expect to be more basic? Why? Write the chemical equation in which hydrazine reacts with hydrochloric acids to form the salt N2H5Cl. Consider the positive ion of this salt. How does its basic character compare with that of NH3 and N2H4? Explain.
