B) different,because in each case there are a different number of electron pairs around the central atom
C) the same,because both nitrogen and carbon are both in the second period
D) the same,because in each case there are the same number of electron pairs around the central atom
E) different or the same,depending on the conditions leading to maximum repulsion
