When semicarbazide reacts with a ketone(or aldehyde) to form semicarbazone. Only one nitrogen atom of semicarbazide acts as a nucleophile and attack the carbonyl carbon of the ketone. The product of the reaction consequently is $${ R }_{ 2 }C=N-NH-CO{ NH }_{ 2\\ }$$ rather than $${ R }_{ 2 }C=NCONH-{ NH }_{ 2 }$$. What factor account for the fact that two nitrogen atoms of semicarbazide are relatively non nucleophilic?
