Final answer:
The nitrogen in N2 is not hybridized. In N2, each nitrogen atom is triple-bonded to another nitrogen atom, forming a linear molecule.
Step-by-step explanation:
The nitrogen in N2 is not hybridized (D). In N2, each nitrogen atom is triple-bonded to another nitrogen atom, forming a linear molecule. A linear molecule does not require hybridization because the bond angles are 180°, which is consistent with the hybridization of the nitrogen 2p orbitals.
