Does anyone understand Hybrid Orbitals?

Draw for yourself the energy-level diagram showing the hybrid orbitals formed in the C atom when it bonds. [ Done ]

Now look at those hybrid orbitals and those of the N atom, and describe how the bonding with a N atom will differ with the bonding that occurs with a C atom, even though both atoms have four hybrid orbitals oriented in a tetrahedral shape

    N has a lone pair ... the lone pair-bond pair repulsion is greater than the bond pair-bond pair repulsion so the tetrahedral geometry of N will be distorted.
