Neet Solved Paper 2015 Question 11
Question: Maximum bond angle at nitrogen is present in which of the following?
Options:
A) $ NO _2 $
B) $ NO_2^{-} $
C) $ NO_2^{+} $
D) $ NO_3^{-} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
Species Hybridisation Bond angle
$ NO _2 $ $ sp $ Less than $ {120^{{}^\circ }} $ $ NO_2^{-} $ $ sp^{2} $ $ {{115.4}^{{}^\circ }} $ $ NO_2^{+} $ $ sp $ (linear) $ {180^{{}^\circ }} $ $ NO_3^{-} $ $ sp^{2} $ $ {120^{{}^\circ }} $
So, $ NO_2^{+} $ has maximum bond angle,
