Which consequence results from nitrogen's lone-pair orbital orientation?

A)Elevated NH3 boiling point
B)Amide bond planarity
C)Increased alkane solubility
D)Strong silicone polymerization

💡 Explanation

Amide bond planarity results from the nitrogen lone-pair orbital delocalization with the carbonyl π system strengthening resonance stabilization, because it favors a planar configuration via **n-π conjugation**. Therefore the amide bond becomes planar, rather than other conformations without this electron delocalization.
