Hi!

I have to determine the angles shown in the picture. I think no.1 is 120 degrees because it's just an ordinary benzene. Is this correct?

I don't know how to determine angles in no.2 and 3. Could anyone help me?

I know the bond angles of an sp3 Nitrogen is in the first chapters of any o-chem book. Open your books!

Sorry, it's not that I haven't attempted the problem but I really don't understand how to find the answer. I know how to find angles in simple molecules such as water, but how could you find angles in complicated molecules like this?

Or.. .is angles between molecules always the same? For example, H-N-H is 107.5 degress. So, the angle of number 3 is also 107.5 degrees.

You got it.

Don't let the complexity of the molecule trick you.
