In the molecule below, the shape around the carbon atom is tetrahedral and the shape around the nitrogen atom is trigonal planar.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecule is not provided, so it's impossible to determine the accuracy of the statement. However, a tetrahedral shape around carbon and a trigonal planar shape around nitrogen are unlikely to occur in the same molecule, as nitrogen typically forms three bonds and has one or two lone pairs, while carbon typically forms four bonds.
