The types of hybrid orbitals of nitrogen in ( NO ₂⁺, NO ₃⁻ )and ( NH ₄⁺ )respectively are
Options
- A(s p, s p^3, s p^2 )
- B(s p, s p^2, s p^3 )
- C(s p^2, s p, s p^3 )
- D(s p^2, s p^3, s p )
Correct answer
B. (s p, s p^2, s p^3 )
Step-by-step solution
( aligned & NO ₂⁺ O = s p ~N O H & = 1 2 (V+M-C+A) H & = 1 2 (5+0-1+0)=2(s p) H & = number of hybrid orbitals V & = number of valence electrons M & = number of monovalent atoms/groups C & = number of cationic or positive charge A & = number of anionic or negative charge aligned )
