which of the following species has plane triangular shape 1) N3 2) NO3- 3) NO2- 4) CO2
Hey aspirant,
NO3 - is plane traingular shaped. NO 3 - is sp 2 hybridized with no lone pair of electrons on the central Nitrogen atom. sp2 hybridized species are plane triangular in shape.
The other options given which are N3, NO2-, CO2 are sp hybridized amd thus has a linear shape.
Hope this helps,
All the best!
Hi Aspirant
NO3- , nitrate ion has plane triangular shape
Species with sp2 hybridisation are plane triangular.
Among the given species NO3- si sp2 hybridised with no lone pair if electron on central pair.
And N3, NO2- and CO2 are sp hybridised with linear shape.
Hope this helps!
